Richard Stallman on Radio New Zealand
,----[ Quote ]
| If youâre looking for a little background radio to
| listen to this afternoon, why not check out the podcast
| for yourself? It runs to just over 39 minutes and LIANZA
| Conference gets a mention (yay!). I canât wait to hear
| what he says in his keynote address. I wager itâll
| generate quite a lot of debate so make sure you get
| along to that one. You donât want to miss out on the
| âwatercooler conversationâ thatâll go on afterwards.

NZ Post trials open source on desktops
,----[ Quote ]
| The project is about freedom and diversity in the choice of operating
| systems, not about specifically moving towards an open-source desktop, says
| NZ Postâs technology innovation manager, Barry Polley. NZ Post already uses
| some open source software, for example Red Hat Linux in the companyâs
| datacentre, but not on the desktop.
|
| NZ Post is the only government-owned agency that has gone public on its
| participation in the Remix open-source public-sector desktop programme (see
| page 14), coordinated by the New Zealand Open Source Society (NZOSS).

NZ Post: why we chose Google over Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| She was also drawn to Google Apps features, figuring they can yield a further
| $1 million saving by dint of productivity gains. While staff have document
| collaboration capability with todayâs Microsoft products, Google Apps makes
| it easier to share a file, or for more than one person, in more than one
| place, to work on a document. Google Apps will also see NZ Post use IM and
| desktop video (again, also available in Microsoft iterations) for the first
| time.
