Aneesh Chopra the US Federal Government CTO

,----[ Quote ]
| The appointment of Aneesh Chopra as the U.S. federal government’s first Chief 
| Technology Officer (CTO), together with the earlier appointment of Vivek 
| Kundra as the Federal Chief Information Officer (CIO), is a signal of the 
| importance of information technology to the Obama Administration. We expect 
| Chopra to play a vital role in achieving the policy goals set out in the 
| Administration’s IT platform.

What Chopra offers open source

,----[ Quote ]
| New federal CTO Aneesh Chopra is not an open source executive. He’s not a 
| programmer, either. And he has no political fingerprints on the open 
| source-proprietary divide.
