CeBIT 2010: AGIMO says open source needs to lift its game

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite a new level of openness through the 
| recent adoption of eGovernment and web 2.0 
| tools, the Australian Government Information 
| Management Office (AGIMO) is still cagey when 
| it comes to procurement of open source 
| software.
| 
| Commenting at CeBIT Australia 2010, John 
| Sheridan, division manager at AGIMO's Agency 
| Services Division hinted that open source 
| suppliers would need to lift their levels of 
| support if they were to make further inroads 
| into the public sector.
| 
| "Our policy on open source remains one of 
| informed neutrality," he said. "Our view is, 
| rather than preferring one particular sort of 
| open source software to another, to make sure 
| our software can be properly supported.

BYO Linux router to the NBN

| They can both be part of the home router you
| connect to it, according to ISP iPrimus.
| Customers will be free to use whatever router
| they like, such as a Linux-based Tomato
| router (firmware that you install into a
| readily available router such as the Linksys
| WRT54G).
|
| There had been concerns among the enthusiast
| community that the government would mandate a
| particular router be used at customer
| premises so that the network could be
| administratively controlled remotely.
|
| However, customers will have complete freedom
| to use their own homebrew Linux routers to
| connect their premises to the National
| Broadband Network instead of using a standard
| router from the likes of Netcomm or Netgear,
| internet service provider Primus revealed
| last week.
