Comment The policy must create a 'culture' of open source (Score 2, Interesting) 333
This is a great time to be involved in open source.
Congrats for drawing such a difficult but worthy and rewarding assignment. I have a couple thought s for the policy.
It must encourage and reward people for finding creative and effective open source solutions that save money and increase productivity.
It should make provisions for continuing research, and have a framework for studying recommendations made by individuals. Possibly by committee.
Doing these things will take steps toward the creation of an open source 'culture' in the organization. It gets people interested and involved, and gives the IT management a throwback when people cry that they don't like this or that.
Good Luck!
