John Weathersby of OSSI with Nate DiNiro of OpenAffairs.TV

John Weathersby, Executive Director of Open Source Software Institute joins Nate DiNiro to share some of the details about the mission of his organization, which is to promote the adoption of open source in federal, state and local government. OSSI helps government stakeholders identify and facilitate open source software solutions as a viable business opportunity. While most of OSSI's experience is in defense and the intelligence community, with recent growth in Homeland Security, John shares an example of a situation where the Government was able to spin out the IP of a Federal workflow management system, known as the "Open Source Corporate Management Information System", and successfully structure the legal status to create a open source project which can benefit other agencies and safe government dollars.
