Open Source Europe

[Dennis R Redmond]

Hmm, seems that France is thinking of legislating open source software as
the standard for the public sector (http://www.osslaw.org has the details
en francais). Now that MS Outlook is being eaten alive by viruses, just
like the OS community always said it would, it could be that the choice
before the Webbed world is information socialism or a complete systems
crash. What do fellow penguins on this list think? Is France on the right
track, and if so, should local communities here in the US start doing
something similar, i.e. adopting open source as their model?
