[Sheflug] Open Source, Open Standards and Re–Use: Government Action Plan

[Richard Ibbotson <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello there

Ted Harding just brought my attention to this.  It's a bit of a shock.  
I'm still reeling from reading it.  I've spent years trying to get 
someone else to understand that large scale use of open source 
software is something that is necessary for our economy to survive and 
prosper...

I suppose we just have to get past the committee stage now and after 
all the Ministers and MPs have had their new houses paid for on 
expenses we can look forward to more of it ;)

Uhhmm... is that the Speaker of the House of Commons who is having a 
few problems there ? (rams pointed stick up his rear end)
