<h2>Synergy, January 2006 Edition</h2>
<p>The 5th issue of Synergy analyses how European public bodies may
benefit from OSS. Its main actions focus on saving on license costs and
potentially on administration and development costs. Collaboration,
sharing of ideas and code also constitute an integral part of it. OSS
is a software development methodology.</p>
<p>This issue will provide all the useful information for public
authorities using or considering the use of OSS alongside existing
proprietory solutions, as well as for their private sector partners.</p>
