At tech news site and programmers' haven Slashdot, Robin Miller, Editor in Chief of SourceForge, which owns Slashdot, passed on an invitation from Congressman Jim Langevin's office:

Congressman Jim Langevin of R.I.

Slashdot | Ask Cybersecurity Commission Chairman Jim Langevin About US Cybersecurity Plans

US Representative Jim Langevin (D-RI) is one of the chairs of the CSIS Cybersecurity Commission that released a comprehensive 96-page report on Dec. 8 under the title, Securing Cyberspace for the 44th Presidency. The aim of the Commission is to help the incoming administration balance "cyberspace" security needs with civil liberties. We'd like to thank Rep. Langevin and his staff (some of whom are ardent Slashdot readers) for taking time to answer your (hopefully) cogent questions. Usual Slashdot interview rules apply, and -- also as usual -- we'll post Rep. Langevin's answers as soon as he gets them back to us.

The site's huge readership has already come up with a lot of questions, and you can add your own by hitting reply on the right side of the gray bar. You don't have to register to comment; you will be dubbed Anonymous Coward, of which there are many.

The Providence Journal's Connie Grosch shot the photo of Congressman Langevin Monday at the meeting of Rhode Island's Electoral College in the House Chamber at the State House.
