Abstract

Open Source could potentially play an important role in e-Government. The COSPA project has been investigating the possibilities of using Open Source in the desktops in Public Administrations in Europe. During this two year project, the attitudes towards Open Source appeared to have differed in the UK compared to similar organisations within some other countries in Europe. In this paper we investigate and discuss possible causes of this.
