there appears to be interest in many public organisations.
You might build a test-case with what the Catalunyan goverment did with
softcatala. Catalunya is a region in spain (Barcelona might sound
familiar) which the native language is NOT spanish but Catalan. The
government there fund the efforts of softcatala and was able to provide a
catalan version of OOo (currently working on 2.0), Linux, and other free
software.

Usually governments might need to see other governments being succesful
sponsoring funding in-house development. The problem is that usually
politicians might not see this effects on society.
