gi7omy Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 It’s been no secret that the DoD has considered open source for a long time. Consideration has finally reached adoption. The proof? A new site, based on Sourceforge.net, Forge.mil, will serve as a repository for open source, defense-related software. Anyone can join the site - so long as they have a DOD, CAC, or ECA certificate. The site currently only contains information and no code. The site itself is nothing more than the Sourceforge code updated to meet DoD standards. http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/opensour...amp;tag=nl.e011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDWAGON Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Speaking of out sourcing, wasn't it just a few months back that the Air Force "out Sourced" a contract to build our refueling tankers out of the country ? That finally became a congrestional hearing and as a result the contract was recinded. Bad enough to outsource automobile manufacturer etc. much less defense contracts for our armed service equipment and technology !!! Frank...
