COSPA, the Consortium for the Open Source in the Public Administration aims at
analysing the effects of the introduction of Open Data Standards (ODS) and Open
Source (OS) software for personal productivity and document management in
European Public Administrations (PAs). The research methodology is mainly
experimental. The work proceeds by the identification of key requirements, the
definition of goals and issues to move to OS/ODS and by the quantitative
experimentation of possible OS/ODS alternative to current proprietary desktop
solution for personal productivity tools.
The project is currently underways; there are 15 partners, 8 out of which are
EU public administrations its detailed status can be found at the URL:
http://www.cospa-project.org.
A first starting point for the experimentation has already been found in
OpenOffice.org, the Open Source tool for Office Automation. We are working in
the transition to it of about 5000 sites.
To widen the scope of the experimentation and the significance of the results,
there are also additional Public Administrations that have joined COSPA as
observers or as subcontractors.
Observers are voluntary organizations interested in the transitions and that
access all the restricted COSPA material in exchange for letting COSPA
analyzing the results of their transitions and sharing its experience with
COSPA.
Subcontractors are Public Administrations that join COSPA with a contract. They
get a support typically ranging from 3000 to 12000 to carry out the
transition to Open Source on a number of desktops ranging from 300 to 1500
according to the specifications set forth by the COSPA consortium, including
the preparatory work, the installation of the monitoring tools, and the
collection of the feedbacks from the employees.
Both Observers and Subcontractors of COSPA benefit from being constantly
informed on the new development of COSPA, gets all the support documents and
tools for doing and monitoring the transition according to the rules of COSPA.
This results in significant savings and new opportunities for local economies!
Currently there are more than 20 observers and 3 subcontractors. We wonder if
you could have a concrete interest in the project, and in particular to become
either observer or subcontractors, or to distribute this information to other
parties that could be interested in COSPA. The procedure to become observer is
available at the URL: http://www.cospa-project.org/observer.html. We are
planning to issue soon a new call for subcontractors, so please let me know if
you are interested in this opportunity.
For your information, among the Observers of COSPA there are: University Of
Alberta, Victoria University of Wellington, UNESCO, Sedgemoor District Council,
IT Center Stockholm, Comune di Grosseto, A.N.A.P.R.I., Comune di Biella, CRC
