Open Source City: Making Public Data a Platform for Participation
,----[ Quote ]
| It's time for the City of Hamilton to start publishing its publicly available
| data in an open, accessible format instead of today's hodgepodge of closed,
| clunky and idiosyncratic legacy formats that are hard to find and even harder
| to use.

,----[ Quote ]
| Negotiations between the State Services Commission and Microsoft for a new,
| three-year software licence deal failed last month, leading to Christie, who
| is president of the New Zealand Open Source Society, to call on the
| Auditor-General to vet agencies buying Microsoft software. Christie says such
| agencies risk lock-in, fail to consider alternatives and become too reliant
| on a single multinational vendor.

| tremendous controversy recently.
