      Oregon State House of Representatives to encourage government
      agencies to examine Open Source solutions to their needs
      before purchasing proprietary software.  It also promotes
      the use of open data formats.  Ken Barber who wrote House
      Bill 2892 will be in Portland to discuss this bill, and the
      role of Open Source software in government.
