Hi All,

Wow! global directive signed by the French Prime Minister stating that
open-source software should be used when available...

Why not the same here in Pacific Islands?

Edwin

Hi,
It's the case in France, and we have a global directive signed by the prime
ministre stating that opensource software should be used when available :
http://circulaire.legifrance.gouv.fr/pdf/2012/09/cir_35837.pdf (in french)
Most INSPIRE compliant public sites run on opensource software stacks in
France.
