Barriers to London's open source adoption
,----[ Quote ]
| When the Greater London Authority, a city-
| wide body, started to look at free and open
| source software they had little to learn
| from other levels of British government. The
| pace of adoption has been glacial in the UK,
| despite recent interest in open data. Having
| rolled out cost-saving open source
| technology for some back-office systems and
| web sites, the GLA has found that
| partnership across the wider public sector
| introduces the biggest barriers. The need
| for government bodies to interface with each
| other has held back the aspirations of the
| UK's open source action plan.
