Open Source Could Have Saved Ontario Hundreds of Millions
,----[ Quote ]
| "Ontario's auditor-general released a
| blistering report this week detailing how
| successive governments threw away a billion
| dollars developing an integrated electronic
| medical record system. This CBC article
| highlights an open source system developed at
| McMaster University that is already used by
| hundreds of doctors in Ontario. As one of the
| developers points out, 'we don't have very
| high-priced executives and consultants,' some
| of whom cost Ontario taxpayers $2,700 per
| day."

Ontario LinuxFest 2008
,----[ Quote ]
| This was the second year of Ontario LinuxFest. With a better venue, more
| attendees, and a slate of excellent speakers with fascinating topic matter,
| the second year was even better than the first. When the biggest problem you
| have at a conference is that your printed program does not map sessions to
| presenters, you are on to something. I look forward to attending Ontario
| LinuxFest 2009.

| It doesn't matter if they end up switching wholesale to Ubuntu Linux, adopt
| AbiWord as the Provincial word processor, or even just make the move to use
| Firefox on all desktops. The Goal is to raise awareness. The Goal is to get
| our foot in the door. Once itâs in, we can do more.
|
| Show them the power of Open Source. Show them the power of a community
| working together. Show them how to think differently.
|
| Show them how to make a Free Ontario.

| needs that are fulfilled by free software and how it is of crucial importance
| to our countryâs economy.
