Hi Robert,
I was just wondering how you got on with your Open Source CMS Whitepaper - I’ve been asked to evaluate the pros & cons of using an open source CMS for our Council so if I can save re-inventing the wheel that would be ideal!

The Government has published today a ‘revised’ version of its Open Source, Open Standards and Re-Use Strategy, coinciding with the launch of its new ICT Strategy, ‘Smarter, Greener, Cheaper’.

Outlined in the latest plans - the first update in almost a year - are new measures designed to promote open source adoption in the UK public sector. [...]

A lot has been written in recent years regarding the importance of ICT (IS, IT, technical; pick your collective term of choice) staff having an understanding of the organisation in which they work and therefore being able to add real value to the organisation through their selection and application of technology.

Do you mean a Creative Commons Licence? (http://creativecommons.org/) That’s a very good point MJ & thanks for pointing that out. I noticed the site content is copyrighted too. I’ll work on updating this so that we move to a Creative Commons system.

Why isn’t the Open or Closed report released under an free and open source software licence?

You won’t like this, but it’d be easiest to attend if we know 12 weeks ahead and it’s near an Intercity station in the South-West or West Midlands regions. North West and South East OK. Starting late morning or lunchtime can halve the travel cost by avoiding congested roads or rails and make [...]
