It was great to read this interview. I just wanted to point out that the use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is not unusual in U.S. Federal, State, and Local Government settings. It just tends to be a more-or-less quiet activity.

FOSS not that unusual in government settings

But, if you are trying to build a shared repository of software for local government, then you need participation and the press may be helpful. "Just build it quietly" would not be a practical alternative. There is too much work to do for any one person or organization.
