FOSS in SA / a never-ending story

However, it lacks real teeth, does not provide binding procurement guidelines, there is no institution overseeing its implementation and very little help available for government departments considering FOSS…. A number of studies are now underway to assess the use and implementation of FOSS in the public sector in Africa and I think the outcomes will be similarly dis-illusioning.As I suggested in this presentation at UNCTAD I still think that FOSS Policy is not as straight-forward as many make it out to be.
