I seem to read the use of Cloud Technology in the testimony. About a half hour before I read this blog entry I ordered a netbook that I hope to load with Jolicloud and do some research.

The Federal Internal Enterprise effort has one root in a meeting held on Bainbridge Island , Washington in March of 1998. I helped set up and was part of the meeting. The subject of out souring between and departments was one of the strains of conversation. Currently I know of a Collaborative Stewardship contract involving a BLM employee between the Forest Service and BLM. I have heard of others but this one I have direct knowledge. This is an excellent way of sharing technical knowledge.
