Hello all,

I am new to this forum and was hoping to reach out to the members for help.

I work for a company that manufactures recorders, and our newest product uses the XServe with open source software as part of the architecture. Much of our client base are Police and Fire Department call centers, and receive federal funding.
I have heard that the US Government will pay up to 10-12% to have these sectors purchase equipment with open source software, but cannot find any information to back this up.

E-mailing the STOS consortium hasn't gotten me anywhere - can anyone point me in the right direction?

ANY help is greatly appreciated, thanks!!!

Steve
