If you've been following President Obama's search for a CTO for the country, you may have seen BusinessWeek's report that the choice he will make has narrowed down to two candidates, both born in India. They are, according to the report, Padmasree Warrior, the chief technology officer of Cisco Systems, and Vivek Kundra, who holds the same title in the government of Washington, D.C. Previously, Google's Eric Schmidt and Sun's Jonathan Schwartz had been rumored to be candidates. Now, ex-Sun CEO Scott McNealy has revealed that he has been asked to prepare a paper for the Obama administration on how open source technologies are the key to a more secure, more efficient government.
