Finally, if you missed it, Tim O'Reilly recently wrote about the
current state of open source in preparation for OSCON 2002, and

on its advocates. If so, please post the information in the talkback
at the end of his article, or email Tim directly. Your responses
may be discussed at the "Open Source in Government" panel at OSCON.
