Edmonton's Chris Moore, CIO, is interviewed here by David LeDuc, the new lead of the ODF Alliance. (Marino Marcich, who led the Alliance from its inception, has a good article in opensource.com.)
Edmonton is a crucial city, one whose political and economic importance to Canada outweighs its size. So, whereas Vancouver made open-source sounds last year but seems to have little to show for all its bruiting, Edmonton is being decisive. I think we can thank Chris Moore: any transition from the status quo requires, I have learned, a driver. Absent that, we have committees upon committees, or nothing doing. And that's what has probably happened to Ontario's own ODF ambitions. But let's see. I'm still working on that.
