The Governator Needs Open Source to Run California

A report charged by Gov. Ar-nald. of California is <a href="http://news.com.com/California+considers+open-source+shift/2100-7344_3-5327581.html?part=rss&tag=5327581&subj=news.7344.20">recommending the implementation of open source software where feasible</a> in order to make the state government work more efficiently. 

<blockquote>"The report doesn't project cost-savings for such a move but describes open-source products as more flexible and secure than the proprietary code that dominates government systems today. State agencies 'should take an inventory of software purchases and software renewals...and implement open-source alternatives where feasible', according to the report."</blockquote>
