  1. Thanks Ben, almost spat tea through laughing! RT @benb3342 @Mark_Antony Thought you might like to see this :) > http://i.imgur.com/ZZCRT.jpg
  2. I'm in Rivermead most of this week, so let's you and I get re-acquainted :) I shall start with a nice cup of tea...
  3. Although having said UK, I spent half of last week in Copenhagen - first Danish municipality migrating to all-OSS starting with Document mgt
  4. Excuse my absence for almost two weeks - just haven't had the time to tweet! Extraordinarily busy year end for UK Open Source...
  5. The UK Government waste billions in taxpayer money through their cosy relationships with proprietarists and willful neglect of Open Source.
  6. As OSC President for five years I saw it all up close and nasty. Through Newham and the 'Open Source Academy' and everything. It's bullsh*t.
  7. Leaked Gov policy on OSS http://bit.ly/7yqswr is simply a pile of lame excuses that are demonstrably not true plus vaguely worded 'wishes'
  8. To which we should add that all the indicators are that the g-cloud will be a very nice customer for Microsoft Azure. So much for Gov OSS...
  9. Precisely! RT @Martin_V Adam Afriyie on g-cloud: 'good concept but a massive project and that's exactly the mistake we've made in the past'
  10. @opensourcerer :) they also actually working with Free Software people rather than just shaking large hairy monkeys to try to get re-elected
  11. @glynmoody @opensourcerer whilst not vouching for anyone I can unequivocally state any Tories that may be of my acquaintance are sincere...
  12. @glynmoody and done with quite some style... I suspect the Tories are aware we plan to hold them to it ;)
  13. Tories leak legacyGov IT policy and expose quite how lame it is http://bit.ly/4PBgXH now obligatory sprinkling of OSS pixie dust from Labour
  14. @glynmoody ack!! you literally just beat me to the punch!
  15. Second cup of tea at Rivermead and a few minutes tweeting before heading out to a school in Wolverhampton looking at a complete migration
  16. RT @cdaffara: Nuxeo is doing great things. Along with Alfresco, is one of my favorite OSS examples. http://bit.ly/4phCuA
  17. A fairly quick cup of tea in Rivermead, then off to see a new school in Cardiff...
  18. And predicted the current arms-race between UK political parties over Open Source even more clearly in February 2009 http://bit.ly/10MTlB
  19. I predicted pre-election politicisation of Open Source earlier this year http://bit.ly/7eOT4y published on ZDNet, but recently disappeared!!
  20. Excuse my total skepticism about this Open-wash, I spent half a decade speaking with this Government and I have seen their contempt for FOSS
