A visiting Red Hat executive has said that wariness on the part of a number of government CIOs over adopting open source is not a reflection of Australia's tech savvy, but the result of a "lack of understanding" of the software and its community.
Government was once the great hope for open source but it will continue to diminish due to a lack of support according to the CIOs of Australia's largest government agencies.
The Australian arm of IT services multinational Unisys has placed an advertisement for an evangelist to plug open source software locally, with a potential pay packet of AU$250,000 per year.
Acquisitions and mergers by the industry's US powerbrokers continued at pace throughout 2006, but locally, offshoring and fibre-optic broadband networks provided the biggest talking points.
How do four of Australia's largest government agencies protect their networks from attackers? To find out, ZDNet.com.au went to Canberra and spoke to the CIOs of Customs, Centrelink, Defence and the Australian Tax Office.
