The alliance is a non-profit organization, founded to promote, foster and sustain the use of open source technology in Canadian government.

However, there is always room for reasonable civil discussions of any topic when new data and new perspective is given.

Accrisoft is one of the first CMS companies that convinced me that the cloud wasn't as scary as I thought for creating, hosting, and managing content management solutions.

While information technology experts have finally come to understand the concepts and benefits of the Cloud, the actual process for deploying their systems to the Cloud utilizing PaaS and IaaS can still remains elusive.
