It is referencing a web site by the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) that was showing Oregon as having zero mobile apps (as of last week). One of my staff members, on behalf of DOGAMI, has since notified NASCIO of one of our mobile apps and now Oregon is not shown as a state without any mobile apps. (Follow the last link in the email below to see the map of the US showing states with or without mobile apps.)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I'm sure DOGAMI is not the only OR state agency with a mobile app available to the public.
