eGovOS 3 Announced
A reader writes:"German Minister Otto Schily and at least 2 other ministers will be keynoting
at EGOVOS 3: Open Standards and Libre Software in Government conference in
Paris, France on November 24-26, 2003. EGOVOS 3 will bring together the
largest number ever of high level government officials working in Open
Source and Free Software. In addition to the national ministers, 15 senior
politicians, government IT officials and representatives from the European
Commission, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Hungary, Belgium, the
Netherlands, the UK, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, Mexico, Panama and the US
will being making presentations." You will find general registration is open - free, but limited seating. Additionally, press registration is open as well. I normally don't post many conference announcements, but this one should have significant impact on governmental decisions around Free/Libre/Open/Whatever Software.
How can government be democratic if its systems are dictated by Someone with a big house in Redmond ?
