NSW Office of State Revenue CIO reflects on five successful years of open source

,----[ Quote ]
| While the OSRâs official open source strategy has been in place 
| for some time, there are indicators that suggest adoption was 
| driven by activity at the coalface as much as it was a top-down 
| directive. Some five years ago, NSW OSRâs then-CIO Mike Kennedy 
| told Computerworld the agency was using commodity hardware 
| running Linux, which it has continued to do ever since. At first 
| Debian GNU/Linux was used, but in 2002 the system was migrated to 
| the commercially-supported Red Hat Enterprise. This makes the OSR 
| a very early adopter for an organisation of its size and 
| complexity.

| At the recent Red Hat Summit in Chicago, Red Hat Senior Solutions
| Architect Andrew Hardy trotted out three case studies, in which customers
| from the finance sector consolidated multiple Unix- and Windows-based
| systems onto Red Hat Enterprise Linux running on the IBM System Z
| mainframe.
