Sometime somewhere Michael graciously responded >So yeah, open source can do it - but can your department manage it >:-) Thanks for the positive affirmation, Michael. I wish colleagues (more qualified that me) in the public service IT units were so enthusiastic. Of course, I AM out of my depth here, but I don't see many other departments, schools, councils, etc., managing it either. >If you have SPECIFIC Linux related questions this group can >probably help So, wrong question, I agree. How about: Given that open source platforms can deliver effective and affordable community information systems what is the open source community currently doing to apply open source principles to platform marketing, project management, integration and servicing?
