Two new unrelated but seemingly important sites for news on open source developments and higher ed.
The first, OpenSector.org, promises to be a news service for open source developments relevant to the public sector. Brand new and not much there, but they have received some initial funding from the Open Source Applications Foundation (OSAF) of Chandler fame.
The second, Open Source Advisory Service (via George Siemens on the Open Education site) is also brand new. A U.K. initiative funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee, the site promises to act as a clearinghouse for information on open source software and standards relevant to the higher ed community. – SWL
