[Gllug] DTI/Government Open Source Software consultation

[Rich Walker]

Hi All,

I get some material from the DTI. One item in this weeks mail was the
following:
 

> DTI / Office of the e-Envoy: Open Source Software consultation
 
> DTI and the Office of the e-Envoy are exploring the implications
> of using the Open Source Software model as the default exploitation
> route for software developed under Government funding.  Initial
> consultation with a number of players in the area has resulted in the
> development of four policy points in draft form, which could tie
> an overall policy to the steps needed to implement it. These
> preliminary ideas now need to be submitted to a more broadly-based
> industrial consultation.  Please email Lee Vousden
> (lee.vousden at dti.gsi.gov.uk) if you would like to see and comment on the
> current draft. The closing date for comments is Friday 2nd May 2003.


I'll be getting a copy for my own reference.

Probably worth a look.

cheers, Rich.
