Should Government drop Windows and turn to open source?
http://government.zdnet.com/?p=6950
For government open source is a make-or-buy decision
,----[ Quote ]
| This was carried into the IT sphere. I did
| several stories at ZDNet Healthcare about
| efforts by private contractors to destroy
| the VAâs open source VistA system â
| starving it of funds, driving away the
| best employees, centralizing
| contributions, and eventually replacing it
| through contracts.
|
| My sources were former government
| employees. The ex-VA employees stayed in
| touch with former colleagues and got the
| story out. This was not a big story, but
| it held a lesson, namely the risk inherent
| in having government employees building
| vital infrastructure.
