The obvious starting place is Open Source for America: 
http://opensourceforamerica.org/ (mostly a Federal focus)
for Defense: mil-oss.org
the GOSCON conference, which we all know about: gocon.org
Oregon State Open Source Lab (and particularly see their sponsor list): 
http://osuosl.org
Redhat has a page on State & Local Government use of Linux at 
http://www.redhat.com/solutions/government/state/ - with some links to 
resources and case studies
