| Last Friday, 24th of April, the foundations for vendor independent ICT

| Institute, Ecabo and Vocational Education centre ROC Mondriaan, more than 20 
| representatives from some of the key institutes for VET and Higher education 
| (MBO and HBO in Dutch), from government and several companies specialised in 
| GNU/Linux certification and training participated in this first meeting.

| The Dutch ministries of Economic Affairs (EZ) and Education, Culture &
| Science (OCW) find it undesirable that students in the secondary vocational

Forcing Dutch procurement to be transparent

,----[ Quote ]
| You may remember last September I published an interview with crusading Dutch
| IT journalist Brenno de Winter. During our meeting, we discussed the sorry
| state of ICT procurement in Europe and the findings from a research group
| that many tenders illegally specified products rather than technologies.
