The Open Government Network (Open-Government.net) is one of our major R&D programs to create open source solutions.

It describes how Open Systems can be applied to improve government in a multitude of different ways, such as using open source software internally to reduce costs, using web 2.0 communities to transform business processes or how open standards can enable interoperable medical records.

This 'Enterprise 2.0' approach of using Social Media tools like Drupal can be applied to any other government processes the same way, for the same benefits.

Enterprise 2.0

The headline story for the November 08 edition of Fast Company was that Cisco have begun adopting a "socialist enterprise" approach to their management.

It has been awhile since I provided an update, but don't worry the work has continued. Much of what has been produced up until now are the pieces that create the underpinning for the technology components.

I say it takes a visionary who can put words into actions, a village with great enthusiasm and lots of helping hands from all of us.

Emmanuel is from Kumbo Cameroon, a place that I knew very little about before Emmanuel first wrote to me. Over the last year I have not only learned about Kumbo but also a man with a big dream for his community. I'm posting this message to help raising funds for the re-establishing of the techcefacos.org TeleCentre. I hope this will be one of the many upcoming postings that we can share with you about the progress of the center establishment, and how others might do the same as Emmanuel is doing for the Kumbo community.

iFOSSF is collecting funds on behalf of the techcefacos.org NGO, if you live in the US, your contributions are tax deductible. Read on for more details ...
