Open source developers visit Dutch government

The OSS Guru Group visited the Dutch government organization for ICT (ICTU) for their first meeting. "The aim of the OSS Guru Group is to create a sustainable relationship between the Open Source community and an ICTU-project that develops software for the government. The software currently under development entails a redesign of the GBA, i.e. the Population Registry. This software will be based on open source components, and will be deployed on a large scale by approximately 3 Ministries, 500 Municipalities and more than 5000 government agencies."
