- Federal Data Integrated into Oregon's Website
- By Sarah Rich. Government Technology, February 22, 2012. "Federal data accessible through Oregon's government data website is an offering state officials believe is the first of its kind. When Data.Oregon.gov was in development two years ago, the state and Socrata — the Seattle-based company that provides the website’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) open data platform — decided to put federal data related to Oregon on the state portal so users wouldn’t have to visit multiple websites..."

- Voting by iPad in Oregon on Tuesday
- By Mackenzie Weinger. Politico, 7 November 2011.

- Unplugging Data Centers
- By Joseph Marks. NextGov, 20 July 2011. "When state officials decided to merge Oregon's mish-mash of 12 agency data centers into one secure, cutting-edge facility in 2005, the task before them seemed easy enough. But three years and $63 million into the project, the state auditor was howling that Oregonians' private information was no more secure than before and agencies were complaining they were shelling out more in user fees than they'd spent to maintain their own facilities. It's taken another three years for the consolidation project to start bearing fruit. Now Oregon is paying less per unit on all its major data center components than it did in 2007. The shared center is projecting total savings of about $200 million by 2013 over what agencies would have paid individually, Deputy Administrator Kurtis Danka and his boss, Administrator Julie Bozzi, told the state legislature in April..."

- Open Source Software Helps an Oregon Transportation Department for GIS, Website Development
- By Andy Opsahl. Government Technology, March 15, 2011. "... The Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet) serves the Portland area and is aggressively pushing open source for every software purchase. Increasingly the agency is selecting the open source option, said Bibiana McHugh, TriMet's IT manager of GIS and location-based services. Open source software is providing functions for the district that McHugh previously doubted it could handle — most notably, GIS. TriMet's inventory of open source software can be divided into three categories: open source software supported by a vendor; free open source software supported by the agency’s staff; and applications programmed by citizens with public data..."
