Glyn Moody wrote a piece about a new document on procurement issued by the UK cabinet. http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/open-enterprise/2012/01/uk-cabinet-office-betrayal-of-open-standards-confirmed/index.htm

This is much unexpected in the context of the recently taken initiative to push open standards and free software. But at this point I have no idea how strong this "Procurement Policy Note" is compared to the other documents.

PS: CC'd Sam because I don't know if he's on the list.

Best,
