Your Department of Defense made some major moves on open source this week.

* It announced it will work with the Open Source Software Institute to bring over 50 administration applications under open source licenses, starting with its Corporate Management Information System.
* DoD signed a Blanket Purchase Agreement with Carahsoft for the purchase of support contracts to a number of open source products including Red Hat, JBOSS, Alfresco, and mySQL.
