I don't believe we ever did any certification of Eclipse BIRT on government systems. However, the commercial version of BIRT iHub was used in several government systems. In fact, my first government install was for the USAF. But IIRC, the entire reason we had the accessable PDF feature added was for a government client. But I don't believe any of those certifications would have passed on to Eclipse BIRT. But Graham is right, there were a lot of Maximo installs on government systems, and they used a straight Eclipse BIRT install with just a custom ODA for Maximo IIRC.

Hi Michelle, An ex-NASA employee confirmed to me that several US government agencies (incl. DOD) do indeed currently use BIRT as part of their Maximo application suite (since BIRT is shipped as part of Maximo). There was an extensive approval process for Maximo, so I'm guessing that includes the BIRT eclipse project too, but I don't know if there would be any restrictions on downloading/using BIRT outside of the Maximo product. I'll email you directly with contact details of someone knowledgeable about this at Kennedy you can speak to, and list a few US agencies which use BIRT (for confidentiality reasons, of course, its inappropriate to post this here).

Hi,
I don't know about any such investigations when it comes to BIRT.
However, I do know that other government bodies like NASA use Eclipse
technology. [1]
Maybe that is a good starting point?
Cheers, Wim

Subject: [Non-DoD Source] Re: [birt-dev] Question regarding BIRT
and Evaluation for Use
Michelle,
I can answer from the perspective of the Eclipse Foundation. (I am
the Executive Director.)
To the best of my knowledge, the Eclipse Foundation has never been
directly involved in having any projects evaluated for approval for
use on any government agency network. That doesn't mean that it's
never been done. It just means that the foundation has not been
involved. Since all of our projects are published as open source,
and I am aware that at least some of our projects are being used in
.mil settings, I do believe that some of these evaluations have
been done by third parties. But unfortunately, I am not sure where
we could point you for help on this specific request.
If Wim or others know of such an evaluation being done, I am sure
they'll chime in.
AFAIK, the Eclipse Foundation project that has the strongest .mil
community is OSEE. Someone on the osee-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx list might
be able to help you.
Hope that helps.

Betreff: [birt-dev] Question regarding BIRT and Evaluation for
Use
Hello,
I am a government contractor working at Cheyenne Mountain Space
Force Station and the reason I am contacting you today is to try
and find out if BIRT has been evaluated for approval for use on
any government agency network? I know that may sound like a weird
question to ask, but please hear me out. I am developing a
customized Remedy solution for use in my department and I require
the ability to generate comprehensive reports but I find that the
Report Designer that is included with the BMC Remedy ITSM product
is rather limiting as far as formatting and presentation
capabilities. I read through their documentation and they
happened to mention building customized reports using BIRT and
after doing some research, I found that BIRT may be the tool that
I need to generate the reports that I want to create. Since I
work for a government agency, I can’t just download the tool and
use it without it having been already evaluated and approved for
use on the network. I have not been able to find any
documentation stating that it had been evaluated for approval for
use on my network. DOD does have reciprocity agreements with
other government agencies though and I was wanting to know if you
were aware of any government agency that may have evaluated this
product for use on their network or are actively using it. If I
am able to obtain a Certificate to Field for use, then I may be
able to use this tool in my network which would be a great help
for my project.
Thank you very much for your time!
