London Government Accused Of Open Source Inaction
,----[ Quote ]
| A Green Party representative has accused the
| London government of failing to fully exploit
| open source software, but activists say the
| Greater London Authority (GLA) is doing wellâ
| at least compared to central government.
|
| Despite a central government commitment to use
| open source, Londonâs local government has too
| many plans âin the pipelineâ and not enough
| actually delivered, said Darren Johnson, a
| Green Party member of the GLA: âIt is clear
| that nothing is likely to happen without some
| major push towards progressâ.
|
| [...]
|
| âIf the Mayor wants efficiency savings to
| balance the budget and avoid frontline cuts,
| he should be doing more to promote open source
| solutions,â said Johnson. âFree and open
| source software could reduce long-term costs
| significantly, and promote a spirit of co-
| operation and collaboration within London
| government.â
