I am noticing an uptick in interest again in promoting open source for use
in government technology. This time more on economic reality grounds than
philosophical.

Are any government-oriented consortiums operational anywhere in the world?
This could be either government directly, universities working with
government, or technology vendors who serve government.

Also, is there a short list government technology vendors who use open
source tools actively? And finally is there a government website host that
provides cookie cutter websites built on an open source platform? (The kind
a small town might use for example.)
