It was an amazing evening ! Thanks to all dear friends and restless people that filled up this new google auditorium -it was its inaugural night as well.

The complexities and pitfalls of an ambitious e-gov project.

"According to Chomatas, open source projects have to be managed in a more agile way than traditional projects: To develop LGAF complex state-of-the-art technology had to be combined. That is not simple; it is quite knowledge-intensive. You have to innovate continuously.

Open source does not mean that you get something free and can immediately install it. It means you have to read and understand the code and find out how you can adapt it to the current needs.

Lots of individual Greeks sympathise with open source technologies and lots of companies use them, but all taken together this does not constitute a thriving open source ecosystem. Only very small open source knowledge islands exist. They cannot create a difference."

Panagiotis Kranidiotis and the other subcontractors also contributed very useful points. Read the whole article following the link below:

We are delighted to partner with these guys for many reasons. I'll just quote one of them:

"We won’t call ourselves gurus (if we ever do, please hit us on the head with a bat) but we are definitely proud students of all things digital, all things techie and all things… creative and strategic. Some of us are even a bit of… futurists...".

Love u guys!
