[OSGeo-Discuss] Gov't adopting open source ?

[Sampson, David]

There is also a small community of FOSS advocates growing using the Government of Canada's social networking tool GCconnex (currently a pilot)
 
If you are a federal employee in Canada check out the FOSS4GOC group and also tag your profile with OSGEO so we can find who is using FOSS and FOSS4G throughout the government.
 
Geospatial group: 
http://elgg.srv.gc.ca/elgg/pg/groups/48968/geospatial-practisioners/
 
FOSS in Canadian Government Group: http://elgg.srv.gc.ca/elgg/pg/groups/48967/foss4goc/
 
Geospatial Metadata Management group: http://elgg.srv.gc.ca/elgg/pg/groups/48947/geospatial-metadata-management/
 
* links avaialble only within the GOC network
 
NOTE: elgg is an open source tool (http://elgg.org/)
 
There is also a FOSS page on GCPedia (http://www.gcpedia.gc.ca/wiki/Open_Source_Software)
 
 
 
Cheers
