Wire, your work in ICT advocacy is good, and well known and your ideas are well intentioned
in my thread, i was not proposing a strategy. The legal entity is good, and Open source shops need to bank roll the lobby process, since they will be the beneficiaries Of course microsoft shops like computer point and the rest, will not pray for the success for such a noble cause. The legal entity, a law in parliament, are positive steps, but not the holy grail To ensure that Government Institutions adopt OSS is no mean feat, without a comprehensive strategy that includes a baseline survey to understand the scope and magnitude of the problem. Even if Government decided to pass this law by decree, what challenges are they likely to face in terms of technical support, user training, selection of appropriate OSS technologies.
