This is not a joke. This was posted on the US-CERT site. US-CERT is the operational arm of the National Cyber Security Division (NCSD) at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It is a public-private partnership.

Found this gem on the VAGUE list. If you're interested in Open Source in VT. Check out their site and get on their mailing list.
I think RMS looks really sweet in this picture. Anybody who's met him in real life knows he's not always so mild mannered. He's an Open Source revolutionary. What can you expect? Is it just me or does he look like Jesus? Check out his online personal at http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/bos/533096562.html
Also on the VAGUE list "Open Source Software and Open Standards Policy and Guidelines" for the State of Vermont (see attachment!). In these times of economic crisis could the state be coming to its senses?? Open Sourcers rejoice!
We're working on a website makeover and dealing with an unfortunate client who is running only webalizer for web stats. Webalizer doesn't discriminate between people and robots (spidering programs), so we're looking over their web stats, trying to find out what's popular and what's not.

We're just completing a great project for the United Professionals here in Burlington. They're ramping up for a new campaign to get a group of hard working Vermonters to organize for better representation and bargaining power. We helped them set up a CiviCRM system that integrates their internal data with multiple database exports from the State of Vermont. This allows them to focus and organize their lists so they know who they need to talk to, who supports them and where their strongest support is concentrated.
Open Source for America (OSFA) represents more than 1,600 businesses, associations, non-governmental organizations, communities, and academic/research institutions who have come together to support and guide federal efforts to make the U.S. Government more open through the use of free and open source software. We applaud the Obama Administration’s Open Government Initiative and the December 8th Directive requiring all federal agencies to promulgate Open Government Plans. We offer the following recommendations for essential elements that belong in every Open Government Plan:

Check out our latest launch and foray into multilingual sitebuilding at http://VTMigrantFarmworkerSolidarity.org. This site developed on a very fast timeline and slim budget. The base site went up in ten hours or so after a few initial discussions. Brendan O'Neill, the project coordinator, was well prepared with press releases, video and content to bring the site up quickly to get his message out clearly and directly.
Hey, did you hear the white house just went Drupal? Maybe there is some hope ;-)
Tech President is decidedly optimistic:
The ideal new platform would be one where dynamic features like question-and-answer forums, live video streaming, and collaborative tools could work more fluidly together with the site's infrastructure. The solution, says the White House, turned out to be Drupal. That's something of a victory for the Drupal (not to mention open-source) community.... -- http://techpresident.com/blog-entry/whitehousegov-goes-drupal

See work under development on Mike Betit's new site for Tamarack Hollow Farm at http://pork.triangul.us.
Mike's hugely popular in NYC and sells out regularly: he can hardly keep up with demand. A new website with ordering information and ecommerce capabilities will help him serve his customers and stay organized.
Keep your eyes on development. Note: this site is in progress. We're working with Mike to tell his story clearly and in an organized way that's fun and easy to navigate for folks who love Mike and his great products.

Check out Josh's latest experiment with an audio slideshow at Lambert Portfolios. I think he does a great job capturing the feel of the VFW crowd. Love the guy with the blue eyes. In some ways I think his treatment is better than a video: more artistic and thoughtful. Maybe a better story!
See screenshot of some recent robo-comments ... or were they? The comments appear to be intelligent spam. They don't seem to be written by a robot, but do advertise unassociated products.
I had the math captcha enabled and have switched to the ascii art captcha. Anyone else seeing this as an issue? Who are these guys? I've got details in logs if anyone's interested.
