Announcing an open source and open standards action plan, the government said it would:
* ensure that the Government adopts open standards and uses these to communicate with the citizens and businesses that have adopted open source solutions
* ensure that open source solutions are considered properly and, where they deliver best value for money are selected for Government business solutions
* strengthen the skills, experience and capabilities within Government and in its suppliers to use open source to greatest advantage
* embed an open source culture of sharing, re-use and collaborative development across Government and its suppliers
* ensure that systems integrators and proprietary software suppliers demonstrate the same flexibility and ability to re-use their solutions and products as is inherent in open source.
Yeah!!!!!! hoping good!!!!!!! it really doesn't sounds like some british humour
BUT, although it's a good idea, i'll wait for some results don't trust governments and politicians is never a bad idea
So, ... yeah... hoping it's not just hot (nor cold) air...
Going by the current trend of IT mess this government has presided over I will expect total disater.

Tux will get hurt? Ok who's causing this let me at em let me at em!
It's a witch hunt! I'm in... long live Tux, down with the gov't.
But no, not hurt so much, more like left on a train, hopefully some wide-eyed little girl finds him, thinks he's cute and saves him before the gov. can drag him thoroughly through the mud.
Ok who's causing this let me at em let me at em!
