Open Source in the Enterprise: Safely Boring

,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday I popped into part of the London Open Source Forum. This was a 
| laudable effort organised by Red Hat in conjunction with some of its partners 
| to corrupt young and innocent minds – well, senior managers, at least – and 
| convince them about the immanent wonderfulness of open source.

Forget EC Fines: Microsoft is "IT" for many EU Governments

,----[ Quote ]
| Hungary - where I am currently based - only a month ago agreed to put open
| source options on the tender list for government tech projects. Previously,
| government tenders would simply state, "Microsoft or equivalent products".
| Microsoft has splashed its cash around the country both in terms of marketing
| and lobbying that it has much of the public sector sown-up, as open source
| guru Richard Stallman remarked on a recent visit to Budapest.
|
| And let's not forget that the UK only just agreed to "level the playing field
| for open source" software - basically admitting that up till now the game has
| been firmly rigged against non-proprietary software.
