Why doesn't govt embrace open source?
Lokesh
rant
I think the question is not Why doesn't Govt.
adopt?. the question is How will Govt. adopt?
Consider this -
- What is computer literacy of people governing?
- Even if some of them are aware, they probably want
a turn key solution that they don't have to mess with
because there may not be enough people to manage it
and people get transferred. Therefore they find it
convenient to go for already established brands and
names.
- How many people in Govt. have vested interests in
going for a particular brand.
- How many computer engineering graduates would
actually like to work for Govt. (leave alone few that
go from IITs to join IAS). Even if some of them do,
they find it difficult to continue due to various
factors like reservation policy, corruption etc.
- Shouldn't Govt invite fresh graduates from collages
and seek their opinion?
/rant
and so on...
