I also heard there's a group out of PWGSC that are trying to coordinate an interdepartmental approach to intgration of open source in government. Will try to get more info for you.
You need to be part of GOSLING --
http://GOSLINGcommunity.org We meet weekly in Ottawa, and that includes Joseph Potvin --
previously of PWGSC, now at Treasury board, who is the primary person
behind what is now called IRCan.
What is IRCan?
http://www.ocri.ca/email_broadcasts/partnership/partnership_potvin.html"For three years Mr. Potvin has also coordinated planning towards the
creation of Intellectual Resources Canada (Ressources Intellectuelles
Canada), an emerging inter-departmental/inter-sectoral initiative to
rationalize public spending on custom intellectual assets, including
software. IRCan is being created to support collective evolution of
assets across combinations of public sector, commercial, academic and
civil society participants, while engaging the full spectrum of business
methods and technology solutions provided for in federal legislation,
agreements, policies and guidelines."
