Topic: Open Technology in Local Government with Anthony Fortenberry

One of the most important trends in government is the migration to
free / open source software (F/OSS). However, at the local government
level there are substantial barriers to innovation. Anthony Fortenberry
will discuss the open source initiatives at the City of Northglenn,
difficulties encountered, and his strategy for accelerating adoption of
F/OSS in city and county government.

Anthony Fortenberry joined the City of Northglenn in 2002 as the
Director of Technology. In 2004, he founded Open Solutions For
Government (ogov.org), a non-profit organization providing education and
technology in the public interest. He is currently Executive Director of
ogov.org, and a strategic adviser to the City Manager and Council at
Northglenn.

Hope to see everyone there!
