Hi,
it was great to see many of you at FSCONS this weekend, and to sit down and talk for a while! I'm following up on the different actions we agreed, one by one.
Same here!
As a start, please find attached the promised procurement documents from Sweden's public sector IT procurement authority (Kammarkollegiet). This is about a call for tender for framework contracts to provide Free Software to Swedish municipalities.
They're in Swedish, but otherwise fully public and distributable.
I haven't had time to run them through translation yet, so I don't really know what's in them. If they're good (which is what I assume), then these make a great example of public procurement done right, and we should push them wherever possible.
Related, in Finland the government published a guide on FOSS procurment: http://www.jhs-suositukset.fi/web/guest/jhs/recommendations/169
I heard on Tuesday that they are in the have plans of translating it into English. I hope they do, since the guide is quite good (COSS participated in writing it).
