Re: [native-lang] Finland and Belgium
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. -ciao louis On 2009-05-15, at 18:37 , Leo Moons wrote: 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.
