Gov't-funded open-source solutions center in the UK
09-Sep-2005
"OpenAdvantage" has been funded by the regional government in West Midlands, UK to promote open-source software in general and CMS solutions in particular. The center has an impressive list of events and seminars, all free. They have also published some decent introductory reviews of various open-source Web CMS packages. Interestingly for a publicly-supported institution, their analyst has listed which open-source tools they won't support and why. I'd quibble with some of the judgments (e.g. that OpenCms is "harder to host"), but at least they are open about it.
