Make government software open source, German parliamentary committee advises

Again computer literacy is mistaken for "using PowerPoint"

The benefits in open source, platform neutral software where all government development is put back into the commons is going to be huge and is what the Germans are recommending

Then the article (and to be fair the German debate) focuses on whether spreadsheets in MS Office are easier to use than Open Office

This is like suggesting we should teach our children to read and write, and then people suggesting that Microsoft comic books have better pictures in them so it's easier to work out the story.

Aaarrgghh
