I encourage everyone to follow the second link in the article given. Every answer-sheet of the responding agencies can be read by clicking on the agencies. And these responses are very encouraging indeed. Not just cost savings but security, flexibility and much more are given as reasons by most respondents. And only very few spoke negatively about free software - and only in cases where no free software was used (yet). This looks like trouble for all proprietary vendors. BTW: I liked the statement most where one respondent cited "no salespersons" as an argument pro free software. Left me wondering how Microsoft, Oracle and the likes respond to this ;-) Like the respondent for the "Office of the Governor" said: "One can't argue with the flexibility, security, stability and cost savings." |

Quoting:Every answer-sheet of the responding agencies can be read by clicking on the agencies. I'm getting 404s on all of those. Has the state been silenced? |

> I'm getting 404s on all of those. Has the state been silenced? It still works for me. And since I am no government employee it should be visible for all even from outside of CA's governmental agencies. Maybe just a temporary issue? |

Interesting. It opens up in IE but in Firefox I get a 404. |

This is really weird (and seems to be a Windows only problem). Opens up fine in Seamonkey and Firefox (on Linux and Mac), Konqueror (Linux) and Safari (Mac OS X). Cannot speak for IE - or Firefox/Seamonkey on Windows though. |

Works fine on my Firefox (1.5.0.6) on Windows XP Pro SP2. |

My FF 1.5.0.6 on XP SP2 has no problems... VERY rarely even TRY IE... |

Solved. I'm running NoScript on Firefox. Running that prevents the page that works from coming up. For example, with NoScript running the link for "Governor's Office of Planning and Research" points to "http://www.opensource.ca.gov/proxy/oswg/11" rather than "javascript:loadrec('11');". |
