In case anyone is interested in politics of local and regional authorities in relation to IT, eGovernment and OSS I came across thie info below.

Although it is not legally binding, are the local and regional authorities in your region aware of this declaration?

Goal 8 - Open source
Each Local and Regional Authority will consider the use of ICT systems and applications
developed with an open source license. Other than the concrete savings that might be
made, the main aims of this concerted policy shall be to expand the use of open source
software and open standards in the public sector to increase eGovernment
interoperability nationally and within Europe.
