Hi Leo,

I will be glad to put this message on the marketing blog. Could you 
show me the way, or where I can find the way, to post on the 
marketing blog?


that's quite easy. ;-) You need a Google account or get one, then tell 
me its name. I'll then assign publisher rights at 
ooomarketing.blogspot.com to you!

Hi - was wondering who was there for North America?


Attended:
Louis from Canada,
rbircher from Switzerland,
Alexando from Mexico,

Jihui Choi from Korea(CJK region gourp)

I lost my log. Is anyone who has the log?


Sigh. I had posted it to this list but of course, as it was in zip  
format, it was scrubbed.


Doing so again, in .odt.

BTW, totally OT, but was doing a search on Google and guess what: Up  
came, not far down the list, a link to an OpenOffice.org template! ;-)


Nice.

Thanks!
Fwiw, the Canadian city of Vancouver (lovely spot, just perfect for an  
Olympics) opted for Foss, too, tho not clear if OOo is the chosen  
thing. See,

http://www.straight.com/article-220944/city-vancouver-set-back-open-source-open-standards-open-data

I'm trying to follow up with the council and mayor for more  
information and to guide.


I'm also seeing if this step by V. will help in my quixotic (?)  
efforts to get Toronto and other Canadian cities to migrate over.  
Québec, too.

Hello everybody,

City of Anderlecht:
In Anderlecht, on 23rd April the local citycouncil received an  
update of the migration of all 600 desktops from MS Office to  
OpenOffice.org. The minutes of council are not yet online, but we  
understand that the migration has been successful and that the city  
will safe 250.000 EUR.
As early as Feb 2006, every new computer was equipped with OOo  
together with MSO. Problem was that nobody was using OOo, as  
everybody was used to MSO.
At the end of 2007, some key-users were asked to start using OOo on  
a voluntary basis. At the same time, the CIBG (Centre for  
Informatics of the Brussels Capital Region - Anderlecht belonging to  
this region) made a study what the impact would be on a total  
migration.

In Summer 2008, the city council decided to go for a total migration.
Basically, training consisted of comparing MSO with OOo, so it was  
clear that differences were not that big. 91% of users were  
following the training. Further support was/will be given by key- 
users and CIBG. Templates were developed for easy use.
Documents can be received in various formats, are saved in ODF, are  
transmitted internally in ODF, externally in PDF, and if transmitted  
externally and to be returned the format will be in MSO.

Very soon all computers will be upgraded to OOo 3.x

City of Charleroi:
About 1 year ago, the city of Charleroi decided to start the  
migration of their 1600 desktops to OOo. Actually 300 PC's have been  
migrated and 400 people have been trained. The opportunity was taken  
to give a wider IT-training as a lot of employees never had a proper  
training. Although Charleroi is not belonging to the Brussels  
Capital Region, CIBG gave them full support


City of Vorst:
The IT department has closely followed the developments in  
Anderlecht and will soon develop their own roadmap towards OOo. Also  
here CIBG will probably be a partner as Vorst is situated in the  
Brussels Capital Region.

Especially as it related to Finlandhttp://www.osor.eu/news/fi-finance-ministry-updates-its-tailored-version-of-openoffice 
 and also Belgium: http://www.osor.eu/news/be-anderlecht-charleroi-and-vorst-move-to-openoffice


Can someone perhaps shed more light on these actions?
