ASCO Report Recommends More Open Source for the DoD

The Department of Defense has a problem and the only cure is more "cowbell"....wait a tick, I mean more Open Source Software.

The Advanced Systems and Concept Office (ASCO) recently released a report that recommends the Department of Defense to use and develop Open Source technologies.

The report was titled "Open Technology Development" and was prepared for Ms. Sue Payton, Deputy Under Secretary of Defense. (Full PDF).

It is good to see a group pushing the cultural shift that will be needed to use OSS in the government.

I also like the see the smart use of my tax money. ;)
