US Dept. of Defense forges an open source path
Ongoing efforts to modernize the Department of Defense’s thinking about tech issues brought the Defense Information Services Agencies (DISA) to the cusp of launching forge.mil, DISA’s own version of the SourceForge open source model.
It may seem a little surreal to have the IT support team for the Department of Defense working closely with a company with the motto, “Where subversion meets the enterprise,” but here we are: DISA last year took up talks with CollabNet, which bought SourceForge Enterprise Edition from sourceforge.com back in 2007. The company already works with a number of government entities (including the US Air Force and the State of New Mexico Department of Corrections).
