Sorry for being late but it took a while to figure out some details
here. So far no public information has been disclosed yet except the
stuff from the talks at LinuxWorld 2006 in Frankfurt. Lead person of
the task force is Björn Kümmel from the German ministry for health
(ok, bad translation, in German it's "Bundesministerium für Gesundheit
und Soziale Sicherung", BMGS, however other ministries like BMI, BMJ
and the Parliament are directly involved, too). Apparently more
information will be disclosed in August 2006 with a full list of
requirements (which includes KDE as a *mandatory* requirement (likely
for purchase of support contacts for Linux/Unix-like operating systems
- which includes Solaris/OpenSolaris)) ... that's all I could figure
out for now without signing some kind of non-disclosure agreement...
:-(
