		<description>I am strong believer in Open Source and the communities that support many varied and wonderful projects.
My main concern would be ensuring that Open Source technologies would be most beneficial when shared. This sometimes requires some intelligent out of the box thinking. 

with so many departments and needs what would be the best method to ensure healthy use and development of open source across many government departments?</description>

		<description>Please don&#039;t forget that during the recession contractors have been out of work for a number of weeks but haven&#039;t claimed any benefits.  If the LibDems cange things then they should allow contractors to be registered as unemployed and claim benefits when they are out of work to balance things out.</description>
