Report on National Innovation Review Released
,----[ Quote ]
| The Commonwealth Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research has
| released the report it commissioned by Venturous Australia on the Review of
| the National Innovation System. I put together a submission for OSIA arguing
| that open source should be given much more prominence in national innovation
| priorities.

Australian open source industry worth $500 million
,----[ Quote ]
| "The industry as a whole is earning $500 million," said Jeff Waugh,
| co-founder of Waugh Partners, which conducted the survey online late last
| year. "Directly open source related earnings are about $300 million, but the
| reason why we're distinguishing between these numbers is the industry is not
| just companies that build open source software. They also use open source
| products to support other parts of their business as well."
|
| Waugh said the figure was calculated by taking the midpoint earnings figures
| specified by companies who took part, and extrapolating over the broader ICT
| industry using existing data such as surveys by the Australian Bureau of
| Statistics and Australian Computer Society. Waugh Partners estimates the
| respondents represent about a quarter of the overall industry.
