ODF: Anybody know somebody...?

[John Casebolt]

Friends -

As a consultant, I spend quite a bit of time working with  
corporations such as IBM, Red Hat, and Oracle in efforts to convince  
the United States Air Force that the adoption of open standards is a  
Good Thing.

I have asked some folks at these companies if they would be willing  
to help us convince the MA politicos that the same holds true at the  
state and local levels.

We need to make sure that this new "IT Technology Council" in MA - if  
it comes into being - is populated with folks who are erudite and  
open minded.

As a strong believer in personal choice and freedom, and the owner of  
businesses that rely and advocate Open Source, I am willing to help  
however I can.

I believe that Red Hat especially - with their MA presence and  
philosophy - can be of some help here.

JC
