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.
