we read the title wrong, maybe it should says
"Biggest use of open source technology in an e-Gov Project..."
Exciting news, if gov projects are using Open Source (preferably FLOSS/ GPL) technologies and tools, that is the first step. Let the gov people taste freedom, it is addictive.
My best wishes.

Here is a mail from a friend.
....
It's a small book of Bertrand Russell written in 1917 titled "Political
Ideals".
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/4776
It says very clearly very important things.
It anticipates profetically themes that are tremendously important today.
Some excerpts follow.
<snip>
We may distinguish two sorts of goods, and two corresponding sorts
of
impulses. There are goods in regard to which individual possession is
possible, and there are goods in which all can share alike.
<snip>
There are two kinds of impulses, corresponding to the two kinds of goods.
There are possessive impulses, which aim at acquiring or retaining private
goods that cannot be shared; these center in the impulse of property. And
there are creative or constructive impulses, which aim at bringing into the
world or making available for use the kind of goods in which there is no
privacy and no possession.
The best life is the one in which the creative impulses play the largest
part and the possessive impulses the smallest. This is no new discovery. The
Gospel says: "Take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we
drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?"
<snip>
What we shall desire for individuals is now clear: strong creative
impulses,
overpowering and absorbing the instinct of possession; reverence for others;
respect for the fundamental creative impulse in ourselves.
<snip>
Political and social institutions are to be judged by the good or
harm that
they do to individuals. Do they encourage creativeness rather than
possessiveness? Do they embody or promote a spirit of reverence between
human
beings? Do they preserve self-respect?
<snip>
But security and liberty are only the negative conditions for good
political
institutions. When they have been won, we need also the positive condition:
encouragement of creative energy.

I downloaded it and am trying it out. But so far no luck. I have shared the results of my so far attempts and observed issues and HOPES (about phones mentioned by nokia as non modem ones) at -
http://www.gprsec.hu/modules/forum/viewtopic.php?t=50
Any further feedback/suggestions from fsf friends are welcome.
Raju: My non-nokia cable is detected by cp2101 (Silicon Labs) and pl2303 (Prolific) drivers not by ark116. But I am working with 2.6.17 now.
There is a small issue though, if I load only pl2303 (that gets associated with ttyUSB0), "wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf" and "wvdial" (with handcrafted wvdial.conf) both result in segmentation fault due to some messup with EIP in "..... serial_open ... -> ... pl2303_open " leading to applications getting terminated with locks held and only way back to reloading the needed drivers successfully is after reboot.
If anyone else experienced similar issue and resolved, it could save some time. In any case more clues always help.
Could not get old ksymoops to help - perhaps some format difference b/w /proc/ksyms of earlier days and /proc/kallsyms now or some other issue - will check it out tonight.
