[military-wg] Benchmarks and FOSS

[Joshua L. Davis]

Do you know anyone in academia that does this sort of work already?  I work
at GaTech and there is a group there that does a huge open source benchmark
(DoD only of course) for TMB.  I'll mention the idea to them to see if they
do.

Also, jumpon mil-oss.org - that is another group that will likely merge into
this one related to the topic of military open source software.
