Hola, sobre aquest tema, paso la informacià que he rebut per part de Giancarlo Succi, responsable del projecte COSPA, convidant a la Secretaria de Telecomunicacions a formar part.
Salutacions cordials Carlos GonzÃlez [EMAIL PROTECTED] COSPA, the Consortium for the Open Source in the Public Administration aims at analysing the effects of the introduction of Open Data Standards (ODS) and Open Source (OS) software for personal productivity and document management in European Public Administrations (PAs). The research methodology is mainly experimental. The work proceeds by the identification of key requirements, the definition of goals and issues to move to OS/ODS and by the quantitative experimentation of possible OS/ODS alternative to current proprietary desktop solution for personal productivity tools. The project is currently underways; there are 15 partners, 8 out of which are EU public administrations âits detailed status can be found at the URL: http://www.cospa-project.org. A first starting point for the experimentation has already been found in OpenOffice.org, the Open Source tool for Office Automation. We are working in the transition to it of about 5000 sites. To widen the scope of the experimentation and the significance of the results, there are also additional Public Administrations that have joined COSPA as observers or as subcontractors. Observers are voluntary organizations interested in the transitions and that access all the restricted COSPA material in exchange for letting COSPA analyzing the results of their transitions and sharing its experience with COSPA. Subcontractors are Public Administrations that join COSPA with a contract. They get a support typically ranging from â3000 to â12000 to carry out the transition to Open Source on a number of desktops ranging from 300 to 1500 according to the specifications set forth by the COSPA consortium, including the preparatory work, the installation of the monitoring tools, and the collection of the feedbacks from the employees. Both Observers and Subcontractors of COSPA benefit from being constantly informed on the new development of COSPA, gets all the support documents and tools for doing and monitoring the transition according to the rules of COSPA. This results in significant savings and new opportunities for local economies! Currently there are more than 20 observers and 3 subcontractors. We wonder if you could have a concrete interest in the project, and in particular to become either observer or subcontractors, or to distribute this information to other parties that could be interested in COSPA. The procedure to become observer is available at the URL: http://www.cospa-project.org/observer.html. We are planning to issue soon a new call for subcontractors, so please let me know if you are interested in this opportunity. For your information, among the Observers of COSPA there are: University Of Alberta, Victoria University of Wellington, UNESCO, Sedgemoor District Council, IT Center Stockholm, Comune di Grosseto, A.N.A.P.R.I., Comune di Biella, CRC Liguria, Comune Riva del Garda, ISTAT, CNIPA, Gothenburg University, ATIX Software and Projects, National IT and Telecom Agency, Vaasa Polytechnic University, Istituto CIM della Svizzera italiana, Provincia di Asti.
