Re: Political Platforms

[Leigh Honeywell]

actually, speaking with my Ontario New Democratic Youth hat on, most of 
the NDP's web services are done by Web Networks, Canada's only 
unionized web company.  They run a customized version of the GPL'ed 
toolkit "ActionApps".  I run a few NDP sites myself - namely ONDY.ca 
and MaxSilverman.ca (he's the youngest candidate in Canada :-) ) - on 
RedHat and Apache.

If anyone's interested, some of us nerdy dippers are thinking of 
getting an Open Source / Intellectual Property caucus started within 
the party.

That's kind of fascinating ... I hadn't thought of the server aspect. I
could write a book with some of the inferences I could draw from that 
list.

Interesting how the larger, more "corporate" parties tend to turn to 
MS.
