The federal Department of Finance has flagged plans to more widely use the open source MySource Matrix content management system on government Web sites.
The federal government's recently-launched open-source content management system does not meet industry standards, a leading IT lawyer claims.
Local software vendor Squiz has re-licensed its MySource Matrix tool under the popular GNU General Public License, nearly two years after facing criticism the software's previous licence wasn't open enough.
Senator Eric Abetz on Wednesday launched a free open source content management system (CMS) for use by government departments and not-for-profit organisations.
The software giant will sit down this April with policy makers, IT officials and open source vendors at the second Open Computing in Government Conference in Canberra to talk about how open computing can aid in the provision of services by government.
