Re: Guadec and Dutch government plans for OSS and desktop

Hi Sanne,

I think that's a great idea.

If at all possible, we should reply back with comment within the comment period.

Then I think there are many technical publications/magazines that we could work with to publish a public response.

Marketing Team, who should work on the response?

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.
