Cape Verde's Big Win

,----[ Quote ]
| Two years after that, I heard first-hand the reports of that and other 
| projects based on open source software. The job is not easy, and there are 
| definitely challenges, but Cape Verde has fully embraced the concept of 
| democratic participation, and they have built a architecture of open 
| government and open systems based on open source software. It is an exciting 
| validation of Clay Shirky's Cognitive Surplus hypothesis, which is that when 
| technology can lower the barriers to participation, more people become more 
| positively engaged and more productive. Cape Verde has done this, not alone by 
| any means, but with partners like Brazil, who are themselves true leaders in 
| open source and open government.
