Hi Juanan, thank you for heads up!
First Monday - the famous peer-reviewed journal – recently published an interesting paper on open source collaboration in the US Public Sector, resulting probably one of the first research covering open source governance in the public sector.
Before commenting its findings and see how and if they could be applied to the Italian situation, I wish to end to recap issues raised during the “Open Source Governance†held in Rome last October.
Roberto Galoppini, 
The latest opensource DimDim version is dated 2008, therefore quite an old version: 4.5 (taking into consideration that DimDim closed source version is 4.6) You can check yourself directing your browser to the Sourceforge webpage for DimDim: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dimdim/files/
Moreover, the myScreen plugin doesn’t work in Linux. Sad news, but hey, there is also good news: try the real opensource competitor, named OpenMeetings, http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/
