He said there were      some expected cultural differences, but that in terms of IT      he was caught bysurprise:    <\/p>\n<p>        I was surprised that things like open source wasnt as        bigin government as it is in the East Coast, or in        Oklahoma, where I was. I was surprised that transparency        wasnt a bigger issue. Its certainly a big issue in        Oklahoma, and its less sohere.      <\/p>\n<p>      This was striking because Oregon is known for its open source      community  at Oregon States Open Source Lab, at the annual      OSCON Conference, and among many programmers. And his comments came      right before an       Oregonian op-ed argued that open source software could      have prevented the Cover Oregonfiasco.    <\/p>\n<p>      So weve decided to follow up on Pettits comments. Well be      joined by an outspoken proponent of public sector open      sourcesoftware.    <\/p>\n<p>      Whats your experience with the open source world? And what      could it do forgovernment?    <\/p>\n<p>      GUEST:    <\/p>\n<p>        Rose E.
