Now this type of business will end, or at least it will be very obvious who is doing favours to who.
- route66 13y agoI ran into http://www.esop.pt/ http://www.esop.pt/ a while ago which "aims to stimulate the market for open source solutions" in portugal. Oracle is one of its members. What exactly is their role? Gate keepers for governmental procurement? Their admission procedure at least seems a bit obscure.

- PedroBatista 13y agoFrom what i read this appears to be just a group of companies trying to get some leverage. Which is not wrong by any means. Their member list is composed both by huge companies and small ones, and judging by the areas of expertise of their members, they are trying to offer solutions for pretty much everything a public sector entity needs.
