Rafael MartÃn Espada, CIO, Government of Extremadura. Spain Says 
Open Source Is Critical For Development

,----[ Quote ]
| The use of open source software is 
| fundamental to a sustainable and 
| technologically independent development, says 
| Rafael MartÃn Espada, Director General of 
| ICT, regional government of Extremadura.
| 
| "We have a long list of recommendations that 
| we are willing to share with all 
| administrations that are considering open 
| source", Espada said last week Thursday at a 
| seminar in Brussels.
| 
| The region for instance advises to take 
| fiscal measures to promote the creation of 
| open source business. "Make its adoption a 
| priority for public administrations. Use open 
| source when you are organising electronic 
| polls, stress its use in your development 
| strategy and build demo centres to increase 
| the trust in this type of software."
