The good news about open source software (OSS) is - it's open. The bad news is - it's still software! Global OSS debates ended 6-7 years ago with OSS declared mainstream by tech surveys around 2004-5. Without raising the software engineering and management bar in the government w/ OSS knowledge, skills, abilities and cultures, all the fed is going to do with OSS is shoot their feet off, as usual.

So far, agile software is a nice-nice, mythological word the suits like to toss around, those who seem to have little grasp of even the basic, fundamental software engineering infrastructures needed to baseline the enterprise, much less be "Agile." Agile still requires infrastructures the Magic Bullet Speaksters don't seem to often grasp - the political crowd - SUITS!

OSS Training requirements would seem to offset a lot of savings, in the begining. OSS requires new methods in software management that require revised software management methods.

The good news about OSS is that its open. The bad news is that it's still software. OSS fixes nothing unless fundamental software engineering is first understood.

How about local communities take their own, grass roots efforts to get their own broadband instead of a federal mandate and dollars? See the NC/SC tobacco county that organized themselves around moving towards an IT industry. They took the initiative, got broadband, installed community networks, funded local laptops for schools, etc. They didn't need to feds to do it all for them. They made it!!!
