Toronto Municipal Open Source Revolution, anyone ? Berlin Guinea pig

[Teddy Mills]

The political process instills many people with grandiose plans.

But to be serious for a second, if it means saving the city, possibly
millions, I mean that's good enough ROI right there.

I want to learn from the city of Berlin. The mistakes and things they
have learned. They got a website for what they are doing/learning etc? 
It could be like the blueprint for major metropolitan cities around the
world. Would they share that information and data with others?

Lets discuss, within the LUG, what might be an optimum software 
scenario, for the city, might be;
1) for immediate implimentation
2) longer term

Identify existing standards, groups, resources, interested OSS
corporations.

Then prepare presentation / demonstration outling savings, services and 
security improvements.
