The key will be to get some high-visibility *something* to organize and promote OSS in libraries. The problem isn't just in developer resources; there's definitely a mind-share gap with library decision-makers. Vendors put a lot of effort into gaining this for their products, we have to work on a way to similarly build support for open source programs. Great post!

I'm always amazed that libraries, dedicated to openness and sharing and access, can get so bogged down in rules and closed doors. What a breath of fresh air. Thanks for the great post, Brett. Yes!!!
