To lean towards the positive, any advocacy for Linux and/or open source needs good examples of successes. My experience has been that most of the blockage of FLOSS solutions has been unrelated to technical or managerial merit and has arisen much as any competition for a contract. Hence my mention of RTG and the Ottawa LRT. While it can be entertaining (not to say annoying) to review case histories of such setbacks for FLOSS, if we are to have a positive influence, we need to present good cases and good arguments.
Can I suggest that list members respond with links to such examples? It will help to motivate the organization of a meeting. We certainly can use some kick-start to get going again.
