Description

The NZ Open Source Society is collaborating with several central and local NZ government agencies to evaluate the suitability of Linux on the desktop for government. The project is called the Public Sector Remix and we want to be able to share experiences and evaluate the policies and outcomes of other countries.

    Hi Stephen

    That is certainly a topic that has been and is being explored. I am not sure about timing but I certainly hope we will be able to get agreement to publish more of our work soon.

    This is really exciting and I hope it has a positive outcome.

    Are there also proposals to enshrine open data standards into future IT strategies (eg open document format)?
