Hi Maning,
For me the best success story is gvSIG project, which was actually
created on behalf of Valencia's local government. I am sure there are
planty of gvSIG users on that mailing list - they can tell best how it
works. gvSIG's website: http://www.gvsig.gva.es/
At the European level you can look into IDABC's Open Source
Observatory and Repository www.osor.eu.
In Belgian region of Flanders the government uses OSS as a tool for
agricultural policy - geGIS project www.gegis.org The case on
application in egovernment is discussed here:

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] case studies on FOSS Geo for local governance
Hi,
We are looking for case studies/success stories in deploying FOSS Geo
for local government. I earnestly believe that FOSS tools are
available for adoption in local government. Critical is how to
integrated them to a provincial/city wide government IT
infrastructure. In the Philippines, geospatial technologies are often
used in:
property/parcel tax mapping
zoning
development planning
However, in most cases these "domains" are "loosely" integrated.
Sometimes the GIS in the planning division doesn't "communicate" with
the assesor's office in terms of data management. What we are looking
for are stories that integrate FOSS GEO tools in the overall IT
infrastructure. I know some of the strategies maybe "institutional"
rather than technical in nature.
What technologies do we need (dbase managment, server, desktop apps)?
How do we provide capacity to local government staff?
How do we integrate the data into planning?
Any ideas?

cheers,

The http://www.gegis.org/ website is mainly in Dutch, but part of it has
been translated to Enlgish (see the button on the right).
The main idea behind gegis was to build a platform, able to read and
update geographical data from different sources, and to be able to
disclose this data again to other instances. In this way, everyone can
manage his own data using the geGIS client, and distribute it read-only
to anyone else needing it. You can see this in the pdf file on pages 22
and 23.
