<div class="moz-cite-prefix">My new job is a partly a result of this
(moved from a pure .net role). I work now primarily with open
source, though we still have to graft onto a lot of existing

Our Org the soon to be <span class="st"> </span><span class="st"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http:/www.hscic">http:/www.hscic</a>.<em>gov</em>.<em>uk</em></span>,
currently <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.connectingforhealth.nhs.uk/">http://www.connectingforhealth.nhs.uk/</a> is taking open
source technology, open standards and agile way of working
seriously.<br>
Internally we have used open source tech in places for a long
time. There are now entire prototype projects in development that
as far as I’m aware that use full stack open source from server to
open source languages.<br>

E.g. Spine 2 is using Python, Flash framework, Tornado web
servers.<br>
