Bundestag: "Open-source strategy is not in jeopardy"
,----[ Quote ]
| In April the Linux Association had smelt a rat with regard to the
| exchange tests and sharply criticized the manner in which the
| administration of the Bundestag awards contracts. We cannot "help
| suspecting that with the help of the Council of Elders the IT
| strategy of the administration of the Bundestag is being manipulated
| in a manner that excludes the technical departments," the association
| had declared at the time. A spokesman of the administration had replied
| that all procurement acts relating to the pilot project had taken place
| in conformity with the rules laid down for the awarding of
| contracts.
