Re: [ossig] vendors encouraged to go open source

[Imran William Smith <iwsmith@mimos.my>]

Can't you include a 'technical appendix' (even 'on request')
with some examples of possible open source or proprietary
software that may meet some or all of the requirements?

That way you're not telling them what to deliver, but when
potential vendors ask, you offer them some possibilities.
