Greens press for open source software policy

,----[ Quote ]
| Greens communications spokesman Scott Ludlam 
| has called for the Commonwealth to better 
| audit its software licensing and support costs 
| and to encourage the adoption of open source 
| software where a robust alternative exists.

| 
| The Commonwealth is understood to spend more 
| than $500 million annually on software 
| licences and support.

,----[ Quote ]
| Last week at the annual Australian national
| Linux conference in New Zealand, Waugh, a
| former self-styled open source advocate, was
| using loads of  tired bizspeak to promote
| the so-called open government policy  - but
| she avoided saying anything about the
| filter. When someone dd try to engage her on
| the subject, she did a deft sidestep.
|
| Meanwhile, yesterday, at the closing
| ceremony of the same conference, the other
| half of the family, Jeff, was urging people
| to black out their avatars on their social
| networking sites to protest against the
| policy.
