Q&A: New Mass. CIO offers update on Open Document Format plans (ComputerWorld)
ComputerWorld talks
with Louis Gutierrez, CIO of the Information Technology Division (ITD)
of Massachusetts. "Gutierrez, a 2002 Computerworld Premier 100
honoree, left a position as chief technology strategist at the University
of Massachusetts Medical School to fill the CIO post that had been vacant
since Peter Quinn resigned in January. No stranger to government, he served
as the state's first CIO from 1996 to 1998 and returned in 2003 as CIO of
its executive office of Health and Human Services (HHS), where he worked
through June 2004." (Thanks to Pete Link)

This is excellent news Posted Apr 15, 2006 22:09 UTC (Sat) by Max.Hyre (subscriber, #1054) [Link] I knew Mr. Gutierrez in a previous life, and he's a straight shooter. When he says ``I need to stay true to [...] the policy objectives'', he's telling you what he thinks, not what anyone wants him to say.When he speaks of the government being ``open both to its citizens and to fair competition'', it's not the sort of codeword for ``proprietary competition'' that it would be in Microsoft's mouth. I doubt they could have made a better choice.
