The chief information officer of Massachusetts is stepping down, complaining about a lack of funding for the commonwealth's technology initiatives.
Massachusetts has named a permanent chief information officer, who will be in charge of carrying out the state's OpenDocument policy.
Massachusetts is sticking to its plan to adopt OpenDocument, despite a critical report calling for a delay to the high-profile move.
Massachusetts will begin using OpenDocument as the default document format later this year as planned, but it will be sticking with Microsoft Office in the near term, the state's top technology executive said.
The Massachusetts Senate has introduced a provision to an economic stimulus bill that endangers a state decision to standardise on the OpenDocument format.
Edward J. Black, CEO of the Computer and Communications Industry Association, discusses the implications of Massachusetts' adoption of the OpenDocument format.
The lax dress code of the open-source community is one of the reasons behind the software's slow uptake in commercial environments, says former Massachusetts CIO Peter Quinn.
