Okay, now this is exceptionally cool. It had already been widely reported that the Obama White House has embraced open-source, but I was not aware that they were more than users. Not only are they implementing open source options they are also developing and plugging that effort back into the open source community. This is the kind of hopey-changey that really works for me.

Call it a sign of the times: not only is the Obama White House using plenty of open-source software, its technology team is contributing back to the community.

Yesterday, the Senior Advisor to the CIO of the Executive Office of the President, Dave Cole, announced that his team was contributing three new pieces of code to the Drupal content management system, which powers the White House website.
