For open source use in the gov't, it would be good to show them whatever's available on the open source space. Let them decide which to use first. They may focus on the critical processes. They may focus on the basic processes. At least they'll have ideas planted in their minds already.
I've e-mailed people in the academe (including deped, ched) about a free open source courware mgt system. I'm waiting for their replies/comments.

I have one lament -- why can't a single government agency come up with the financial applications (AP/GL/AR/Payroll etc...) for all the government offices? Since the government has a different (weird) accounting and auditing rules, by coming up with a uniform system for all to use, rather than each agency coming up with their own, this would save a lot of tax payers money... > Open source evangelists and vendors showcase packages for gov't > application -- back-end apps, front-end apps, apps for collaboration, > e-commerce, security.
