Open source key to anti-terrorism efforts
I wish I would have been at this conference. But all I get to read is this report. Sounds like the Defense community is quickly learning that open source breeds more security, not less:

Surprising, then, that “open sourcing” was the buzzword at this week’s Department of Defense Intelligence Information System conference, titled Leveraging Technology to Enable the Warfighter, held in Chicago.
From Dale Meyerrose, assistant director of the Department of National Intelligence, to Scott McNealy, chairman of computer networking powerhouse Sun Microsystems Inc. and Sun Federated Inc., the conference’s 2,000 attendees and speakers projected the same message: Open is the new closed.
