Helping the Man via Software: Mozilla for Government
By Dave Witzel, 07/23/2008 - 9:54am

Last month Matthew Burton wrote a stimulating essay 'Why I Help "The Man", and Why You Should Too' generating responses like "Right on!," "a spectacular essay," and "Hear! Hear! (I even got a little choked up.)" In the essay Matt says "We need a Mozilla Foundation for the government."

Now, encouraged by the response, he's taking more steps to define his open-source-support-of-government vision. This afternoon at 2pm Matt will be taking questions and comments online about the essay and the Mozilla for government concept. He'd even take questions about his other projects including Readable Laws and Speechology.

Submit your questions now and come back later today to join in while Matt is online.
