Massachusetts’ Governor Mitt Romney has appointed a new CIO, and through the press release indicates that his ODF support is stronger than ever. Andy Updegrove reports on ConsortiumInfo.org:

“The announcement that Louis Gutierrez would replace Quinn was made today by State Secretary of Administration and Finance Thomas Trimarco, the immediate supervisor of the State CIO. The appointment of Gutierrez will be effective on February 6, 2006.”

A recent Slashdot article links to the story and provides the site’s usual commentary.

In addition, Sam Hiser collects some fine thoughts of his own, in Microsoft, the Paint & the Corner.
