Linux in Government: In Spite of Endorsements, Government Linux Projects Still Treading Water (Linux Journal)

[Posted October 29, 2004 by ris]

Although government sponsored studies advocate the adoption of open source software actual adoption by government agencies lags behind. Linux Journal takes a look. "Although we have tracked many case studies, wide-spread adoption of OSS within government lacks execution. For example, only a few years ago, Mexico agreed to implement Linux in all its public schools. Vicente Fox introduced an initiative called e-Mexico shortly after he took over the presidency in December of 2000. Funding was scarce and the government began to look at ways to finance the project without using hard currency."

The above link: http://new.linuxjournal.com//article.php?sid=7872 does not work. If you take out one of the slashes following the hostname and resubmit it will work. (ex: http://new.linuxjournal.com/node/7872)
