Open source software in EU public administrations -Presentations and conclusions

IDA organised a symposium on open source software (OSS) in Brussels on 22 February 2001 to meet the growing interest in the use of OSS in EU public administrations. Opened by Erkki Liikanen, Commissioner for enterprises and information society, this event brought together 94 representatives of the European Commission, national and local governments, and the information technology (IT) industry. The one-day programme provided a platform where Europe's administrations could share their experiences. In addition, it permitted dialogue with the private sector on the benefits and pitfalls of OSS in the public sector.
