I have often written about governments and open source alternatives, today I found an organization that is trying to encourage open source software use in the US government:

Open Source for America (OSA) is an effort to raise awareness in the U.S. Federal Government about the benefits of open source software. We hope to encourage the government’s utilization of open source software participation in open source software projects, and incorporation of open source community dynamics to enable transparency.

…

Open Source for America includes a diverse cross-section of technology industry leaders, associations, non-governmental organizations, communities and academic/research institutions.
