As a member of SMAL, as I wrote earlier, I strongly suggest that you contact the people at http://opengov.be/ who work in public sector and try to promote, use and share experience about FLOSS in these institutions and especially Oliver Schneider oliver.schneider@fedict.be (to whom I spoke about you)
I'll do.
However, as Smals is merely the executing arm of other organisation, it's difficult for them (I guess) to be an actor. I guess the aim of Smals is simply to build up resources and competences in order to satisfy the demand.
A rumor told me that the ISO committee that voted "nothing" for OOXML had only one gov member, somebody from Fedict. Is that guy the ISO one ?
yes; What is that rumor ?
(disclaimer : I'm just trying to know a bit more about what happened and therefore, it means I don't understand much about things I'm talking about, There's no intention of harming anybody or any organisation).
Rumor (a friend working at the "communauté française @ Jambes) told me that the ISO committee director (if there's such a person) asked that he wanted a absolute majority vote. Since this could not happen because of the composition of the jury, the full majority was not reached and therefore an "abstain" was pronounced. That is, if the vote happened in a regular fashion, a "yes" (or a "no") may have been reached.
Now if you can't speak about the details, then so be it. The rumor will stay a rumor :-)
