Woot!!!
I’ve been trying to get the commands and organizations within DoD to embrace open-source for years! At times it feels like an impossible battle… THEY WON’T EVEN LET US USE FIREFOX!!! I have IE6 and MS Office 2003 at work.
The media totes Intellipedia being a huge improvement within the government - which it has been - but the paradigms are still the same… stovepipes! Just this week, the command I am contracted to announced another blog within the confines of the organizations firewall. We’re not even sharing efficiently with our counterparts within DoD.
Please excuse the venting of a frustrated collaboration consultant and social software evangelist. Is there any hope?!?
