"This is a project for educational purposes, no other purpose than the promotion of open source systems in the institutional framework." With these words begins the material that accompanies an exact replica of the Senate website. Whatever the difference is that the original, which was released on November 12, cost about 450,000 euros and required nearly a year of work of three teams of experts. alternative site was made by a single engineer, in a week and without spending one euro on licenses.
In the first paragraphs of the tutorial that accompanies your test indicated that 250,000 euros have been used to pay for software licenses, when free open source systems do exactly the same. As published in this newspaper on November 1, experts were shocked to find out the cost of the Senate web, defining it as "disproportionate" and ensuring that at least four times the regular investment in these commissions. But now someone shows it can be done for zero euros.
"Within the systems for content management could have chosen, I installed the simplest. The popular Wordpress running on PHP and MySQL, so the site is functional. It could have developed more complex software like Joomla, Drupal and Typo3, also free and open source or, if to carry also document management systems as powerful as eZPublish, Nuxeo or Alfresco. Other applications, such as forms, forum or the store, are created and function. Naturally, each section I put just a few lines of content, which are cut and paste from the original Web, "explains EGH, an industrial engineer Rioja, 39 years old, working since 1997 on the Internet, freelance freelance and prefers to remain anonymous.
"I have nothing to hide, but not seek publicity or want to get involved with people in the industry. If I decided to talk and contrast data is because I led and managed large public administration websites. Sure, small paragraphs, because such projects work many people. However, I know how they work, and why those costs, "continues EGH, which has doubled every Senado.es of applications such as calendar, the Chamber with the tab of a senator and functions as the language management and other details.
Official Websites and need maximum security as the governments of the United States, United Kingdom and France have done in open code
The cost of 450,000 euros is not justified with the rattle of security as there are examples of systems based on free websites and require high security such as the White House site, the UK Government or France.
E.G.H. worked not only on the content for the public, but also about what is behind, what people do not see. "The contents before being presented to the public go through a workflow system, where as few privileges can write, publish, edit, etc.. It also could have implemented a complete document management system. Of course, I could not see how all this is set in the official website. The open source alternative to free licenses could have been Drupal (the White House works with) or eZPublish (Interpol have it installed), among others, "says the engineer.
Working with open source, in addition to zero cost, implies more advantages. "With free software, you can develop your own applications and customize as needed. By having the code available, the development team of the Administration could make their own changes, update as needed. In Spain there are dozens of companies that would be able to 'meddle' in that code and customize the entire system. Moreover, the most interesting thing would be to adopt a standard system across the Spanish public administration and have optimized all web applications, with a comprehensive open data all the work, "he says.
In this regard also clarifies that not all code or open source programs are free. "I've used here free open source, because it has the advantage that you can look at the code, copy it, tweak it and improve it, if you know. Not to be confused with sofwareFREE, which are free programs, but without access to the code."
According to Sebastian Puiggrós, web designer and developer, responsible for the new site of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona (MACBA) in 2003, which looked at the specifications of the contest for the Senate website, "EGH has done a great job" .
"Obviously not intend to back 100%, but to show that one person, in one week, with 0 euros, has been able to do very nearly the same for what they paid 450,000 euros ... and I got it". Puiggrós considered that the design of the original Senate web "is really bad, the just released and already seems outdated." "As advocates of transparency at this stage of the debate would be nice to publish, which companies, how many people and how long you have worked on this project and its disaggregated budgets," concludes Puiggrós.
Within hours of its release, the website of the Senate had a bug that allowed any Internet user to insert a message. The error was quickly corrected, but the messages of mockery had gone around the world through millions of tweets.
