Hi all, Here in The Netherlands years after writing down that open source and open standards are important, now it's getting clear that actually using that is important too :)
Today a special parliament commission reported after thoroughful investigation of failures in government ICT projects - cost estimated between 1 and 5 billion Euro. http://www.houseofrepresentatives.nl/news/committee-presents-report-failures-government-ict-projects http://www.houseofrepresentatives.nl/sites/www.houseofrepresentatives.nl/files/news_items/conclusions_and_recommendations.pdf " The government has already decided to choose open source and open standards wherever possible. However, this policy is still not being implemented sufficiently in practice. This needs to change: not only can this approach bring about enormous cost savings, but also opens the door to criticism and dissent.
