[LUG] Spreading the word

 

http://www.itwire.com/content/view/23836/1090/1/0/

This is a discussion by a bunch of IT people on how to sell Open Source to the 
Australian government.  Some interesting ideas here but the following 
definitely grabbed me:

The US "free" trade deal signed by Australia in 2004 sets restrictions on 
investment in open source ventures; after the discussion was over, a couple 
of the panellists said that this had to be negotiated in some way or the 
other if investment in open source was to take place.
