Last month, we got into a discussion here about whether the city of Dallas could essentially use Gmail. The question came up because the city decided it would start deleting e-mails that were older than 90 days, and that raised concerns about maintaining open records. Well, an FBvian who remembers that discussion points us to this LA Times story about the city possibly going with Google. It would be a 5-year deal worth $7.25 million. Google would store all their e-mail. Washington, D.C., already does. So I ask again: is it time for Dallas to get onboard with “cloud computing”?
