A LOOK AT THE STATE OF OPEN SOURCE USE IN SLOVENIA (FREEING SLOVENIAN ORGANIZATIONS) Print

Matej Mertik

Abstract

What does the world "freedom" mean to you? How can you achieve "freedom" for your organization in IT? Why is "freedom" so important? Where did it all began? How "free" is Slovenia in term s of IT "freedom"? These are the sort of questions we will try to tackle as we had already implemented some of the steps in introducing free libre open source software (FLOSS). However, have we done enough to stimulate the opportunities that the FLOSS technology has to offer?
 

Keywords: open source, free software, proprietary software, public administration, adoption
