So CIO if you are really serious about this start auditing the procurements and sacking those who are not team pleyers.

As a taxpayer I’m annoyed, never mind as an IT proffessional.

It is a shame however that there is little or no impetus within UK Government and especially the Cabinet Office to actually police or monitor its adoption.

The Open Source Action Plan came out last year, was republished in revised form this year, and in both editions has been made available in commentable form on WriteToReply (current version at http://writetoreply.org/govoss10/ ). An advantage of the WriteToReply version of the document is that each section, and each paragraph has a unique URI, so if you want to tie your comments into a web of linked discussion, why not link to the appropriate section of the document directly ;-)

The Government ICT Strategy is also available on WriteToReply – http://writetoreply.org/govictstrategy/
Please consider commenting directly on the strategy document – it was ‘officially’ supplied to us by the COI and is linked to from their website. If you prefer blogging any response on your own blog, please link to any corresponding paragraphs on the WrieToReply version of the document. If trackbacks are working, we should capture a link back to your comment automatically. If that doesn’t work, we’re looking at other ways of tracking links…
