Open-source software has its fair share of rabid supporters, and now the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency -- a division in the Department of Defense -- appears to also be in its corner.. The Department of Defense said it will start running seminars teaching how to shift to open-source software.
Co-hosted by the Open Source Software Institute (OSSI), the seminar will take place on September 1, 2009 and plans to detail the Open Source Corporate Management Information System (OSCMIS) program.
"This is about transparency and sharing and making available resources which have already been paid for, John Weathersby, executive director of the OSSI, said in an email to CNet.
