General <http://agimo.govspace.gov.au/category/general/>

In January 2011, the Australian Government released its policy on open 
source software 
<http://agimo.govspace.gov.au/2011/01/27/government-moves-to-actively-consider-the-greater-use-of-open-source-software/>. 
Agencies are now required to consider open source software for all 
software procurements. Details on this revised policy are available on 
the Finance website 
<http://www.finance.gov.au/e-government/infrastructure/open-source-software.html>.

To complement the Open Source Software Policy, we've also updated the 
/Guide to Open Source Software for Australian Government Agencies. / The 
original version was released in 2005. We've updated this Guide to bring 
it in line with the increased maturity of open source software, as well 
as the recent shift in the Australian Government's policy on open source 
software.

We're looking for public input on the *draft* Guide to Open Source 
Software 
<http://www.finance.gov.au/e-government/infrastructure/open-source-software.html>. 
All comments are welcome by either responding to this post or emailing 
comments to aga at finance.gov.au <mailto:aga at finance.gov.au>. The closing 
date for comments is Friday 15 April 2011.

I look forward to your feedback.

Glenn Archer
