Representatives from three of Australia's major political parties are expected to detail their policies on open source, Linux and open standards at an industry group conference early next month.
The Australian Unix and Open Systems User Group (AUUG) has come out swinging after conceding its membership is in decline, announcing significant increases in sponsorship and registrations for its annual national conference next month.
The Australian Unix and Open Systems Users Group (AUUG) has drawn in several key speakers for its second annual Australian Open Computing in Government conference.
Even modest adoption of open source software could trim 2.5 percent from the government's IT spend, Labor senator and shadow minister for IT Kate Lundy told approximately 150 gathered attendees in a broad keynote speech that kicked off the AUUG'2004 conference in Melbourne yesterday.
A couple of speakers at last week's AUUG conference drilled home several messages that those in the Linux and open source communities with serious commercial aspirations must accept in order to make serious headway into the corporate and government sectors.
The winners of the annual Australian Unix and Open Systems User Group's open source awards were announced in Sydney this week.
