The http://www.opensourceacademy.gov.uk/solutions/casestudies Open Source Academy lists a number of UK and EU sites. The material is pre-2006, so the list is probably much longer. http://www.openforumeurope.org/ Open Forum Europe is another advocate of open source in government. Their http://osacademy.hosting.amaze.nl:8060/repository/resources/reports/ofe-2008-external-report.pdf 2008 report (pdf), though short, makes for interesting reading. Finally, http://delicious.com/tag/plone-site+government returns 32 Plone sites worldwide that appear to be used in government.
