This is common sense.
Before we do something like this, let us first ensure that we have enough people and the infrastructure to support this. As Dr. Lallana mentioned to us during our induction[1] last year, with the lack of capable support and technical expertise our proposed system would fall apart. The adoption of FOSS in government, education and other sectors would still have a long way to go, and mere legislation won't solve the problem on the lack of support.
