Government publishes open-source strategy
The government has laid out a radical 10-point policy for using open-source software that is aimed at gaining greater value from IT.
Traditionally the government has used software primarily developed by commercial companies, though there are scattered examples of the use of open-source software, after a commitment to use more in 2004.
