Where do OSS developers congregate and what conferences should I go to?
An outside DoD/IC discussion list can be found at: Military – Open Source Software. The DoD CIO does not endorse any specific event or conference. That said, there have been a few conferences specifically focused on OSS in the government or military context, at which DoD CIO personnel have presented information on DoD policy and OSS. For example, in August 2009, there was a Military-OSS working group meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, info here Mil-OSS. In November 2009, The Government Open Source Conference (GOSCON) will be held in Washington, DC.
