"German government email contract could lead to agencies
switching to Free Software"
| Friday October 05, 12:39 PM EDT - By Grant Gross -
| Just as the U.S. Congress begins considering a bill
| that some advocates believe will outlaw Open Source operating
| systems, the German government has hired three companies to create
| Free Software email options for its IT security agency's email
| project.
|
| The German Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der
| Informationstechnik (Federal Agency for IT Security, also known as
| BSI) has contracted with the German Free Software companies
| Intevation and g10 Code and Swedish platform-independent software
| company Klarälvdalens Datakonsult for its Sphinx secure email
| project. Company officials predict the contract could lead to wider
| adoption of Free Software by the German government.
|
| The three companies' Project Ägypten will focus on
| making Open Source email programs KMail and mutt compatible with
| Sphinx, which include standards S/MIME and X.509v3. The results of
| the project will be released under the GNU GPL.
...
If you look closely you will find some of the usual suspects involved. :)
