[Discussioni] Europa e Open Source

[Bud P. Bruegger]

Non so se questo era gia' segnalato:

(1) Le raccomandazioni su e-governance addotto in data 15/12/2004 dal 
Consiglio Europeo (http://europa.eu.int/idabc/en/document/3765/194) include:

"Provides for an ICT policy based on technology neutrality, open standards 
and on the assessment of possibilities offered by different software 
models, including open source models."

(2) Il "European Interoperability Framework for pan-European e-Government 
Services" 
<http://europa.eu.int/idabc/en/document/3761>http://europa.eu.int/idabc/en/document/3761 
ha tra gli "underlying principles" i seguenti (vedi sezione 1.3):

* Use of Open Standards

<text not copied>

* Assess the Benefits of Open Source Software

Open Source Software (OSS) tends to use
and help define open standards and publicly
available specifications. OSS products are, by
their nature, publicly available specifications,
and the availability of their source code
promotes open, democratic debate around the
specifications, making them both more robust
and interoperable. As such, OSS corresponds
to the objectives of this Framework and should
be assessed and considered favourably
alongside proprietary alternatives.

Free Software in Public Administration:  not just a good idea, but a necessity

Perfection is attained, not when there is nothing more to be added, but 
when there is nothing more to be taken away -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery
