Description:
The adoption of open-source software in governments has had its ups and
downs.  While open source seems like a "no-brainer", it turns out that
governments can be surprisingly resistant to using FOSS for a variety of
reasons.  Federico Gonzlez Waite spoke in the Open Government track at SCALE 
22x in Pasadena,

working with and for the Mexican government .  He led multiple projects
to switch away from proprietary, often predatory, software companies with
some successand failure.
