A while back I created a website to track news stories about city governments using OSS.

http://www.opencitygov.org

Originally, I was just printing out stories as I came across them, and sticking those 
printouts in a folder, and handing out to people.  Then I realized it would be easier to 
maintain a webpage on the matter.  It's not a huge list, but it's all in one place 
making it easier for you to at least find stories on OSS use in cities.
