I LOVE this. Turns out DISA (at the most simplistic, understated level - this ISP for
DOD) is having a little conference this spring and they've asked Gina Bianchini, the CEO of ning.com to give the keynote.
So I love that now as people ask me about accessing things like social networking sites like ning from within DOD, I can say things like "well we may not be 100% of the way there but DISA had so-and-so for a keynote speaker, that must indicate something." ...and yes, you can get to ning.com from within DISA - from what little birds tell me.
Keep in mind too that DISA is the agency behind Forge.mil, the DOD's version of SourceForge.
So thanks to Bob Brewin and nextgov for the catch...great news.
