| Dave Cole, a senior advisor to the CIO of
| the Executive Office of the President,
| announced the code release this afternoon
| during a keynote at the DrupalCon trade
| show in downtown San Francisco. The
| administration is contributing a quartet of
| Drupal modules it built for the new-look
| WhiteHouse.gov, a site meant to provide
| improved communication between the

Should the White House Contribute to the Open Source Community?
,----[ Quote ]
| While this measure may not be an immediate
| cost-saver (5 different companies are
| involved in re-building and maintaining the
| White House web site), long-term costs
| should fall as government agencies are able
| to borrow from the greater Drupal community
| while incrementally improving on the
| websites code. But the question remains,
| will the Obama White House share some of the
| contributions itâs making to open source?
