McNealy Asked to Write Paper on Open Source for Obama Administration

While not everyone agrees with McNealy’s idea that “It’s intuitively obvious open source is more cost effective and productive than proprietary software,” Obama sure seems to getting input from all sides in many areas.
The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is onboard with McNealy, but its president Michael Tiemann thinks a federal CIO is a waste of a position.
