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.

" 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. "

Cheers
