I recently had the pleasure of presenting at the British Computer Society, as part of a panel discussion on the challenges of web and document management in the public sector, and the ways in which open source software might be suitable for addressing them. Given that my presentation only contained pictures, I’ve summarised the key points from my presentation below in lieu of uploading it.
The key message in the presentation was that Open Source doesn’t matter. To over-simplify the point, since when has being able to see the source code of an application been a key factor in deciding what platform to choose?
