[school-discuss] THREE ROSES - Three Regional Operating networks working on StrategicElectronic Scenarios

[Yishay Mor <y.mor@ioe.ac.uk>]

"This IST funded project will evaluate the current situation with regard 
to the development and adoption of Open Source Software (OSS) solutions 
to modernise public administration at local and regional level, and to 
support the economic development of the territory. Three Roses focuses 
on e-government services and e-business solutions that could be promoted 
by public administrations in their local context. Special attention will 
also be paid to the development of e-tools to support and enhance a 
learning process around open source solutions for the public sector. The 
benefits and disadvantages of adopting OSS technology are also being 
examined.

The objective of the project is to develop a relevant roadmap for future 
research work under the 6th Framework Programme of Research and 
Technological Development of the European Commission. This will be done 
by concentrating on the state of the art of research and the use of Open 
Source Software in e government and related e-business and learning 
processes.

To achieve this objective, Three Roses will become an open platform in 
which participants in potential future research work will be able to 
debate and exchange views during two workshop sessions and through a 
virtual forum. The life span of the project is one year (2003). 
Consultation will involve OSS researchers and developers, local/regional 
users and stakeholders, as well as experts in managing large European 
projects."
