Gents, As I keep saying, the commitment to open-source within government goes only as far as which supplier will be pleased by the choice. There are many people within MITA who are very pro open-source, but at the decision making level they don't care. It's mostly a publicity stunt.
Whenever (if ever) the government uses open-source solutions, be sure the choice was because of the supplier, not because of the technology underlying it. We can all take BWSC as an example - we all know who the local representative for that was. K On 04 Sep 2011, at 10:28, Raphael Borg Ellul Vincenti wrote: > I replied to the article.
