Guadec and Dutch government plans for OSS and desktop

[Sanne te Meerman <sanne opensourceadvies nl>]

Hi,

I've made a post before where I addressed the Dutch' government plans 
for OSS in their desktop. As Guadec will be in holland this year, the 
organisation is aiming to have one or a view sessions about OSS in 
public intstitutions. The government just released a consultation asking 
for feedback about their plans.

The document and interaction with government could provide several 
opportunities:
-It could give vital information about preconditions to target 
government markets.
-Gnome could give an official reaction to them (before the end of march) 
or later in a technical magazine or webzine to praise the merits of the 
plans and criticize weaknesses, and showing themselves as a serious 
contender.
-Could provide an opportunity for exposure as a lot of magazines might 
be interested in Gnome's thoughts about this.
-resulting in Buzz, exposure, increased opportunities for Guadec 
fundraising, etc. etc.

You decide, here it is. It's in dutch. If you think this could be 
interesting, let me know, so we might have someone translate it.
