Introduction

Hi all,

My name is Linus G Larsson, I live in Stockholm, Sweden and I currenty
run my own business.

I found the list after searching for info about inroads of Linux in
government and other organisations, because I would like to start
offering support and services for Swedish governmental organisations and
such.

My first Linux installation was a Red Hat Linux with the 1.2.x kernel,
some eight years ago. Since, I've been running Linux on my workstation
at work and deploying Linux on the server side in my line of work. I've
been working with installation, support and development for five years
at consultancy firms and also doing inhouse development.

What I need is arguments for using Open Source in governmental
institutions and lobbying for Open Source as a whole. I'm also looking
for some swedish personalities to write a "debate article"
(debattartikel, sorry I don't know what it's called) in a major newsaper
urging Swedish institutions to start looking into Open Source as an
alternative.

Oh, and I'm also running a company doing parties, events, product
launches, brandingand such, so if you need that in Stockholm, look no
further!

Best regards,
