Open source tour of Europe: Italy
,----[ Quote ]
| In July 2007 the IT department of the Italian Parliament presented plans for

| OpenOffice. The migration was due to begin in September and take two years.
|
| Regional government projects include Cremona, Foggia, Rome, Tuscany, Emilia
| Romagna, Genoa, Bologna, Balzano, Savona, Umbria, and Tuscany again.
|
| More details are available of Rome’s open source policy, Genova’s OpenOffice
| trials, Bologna’s open source projects, and Bolzano’s FUSS project.

Just a coincidence?
,----[ Quote ]
| According to Davide Dozza, Chairman of Associazione PLIO: "The numbers are
| exactly the same. If it's just a coincidence, it's a very strange one.
| Downloads of the Italian version of OpenOffice.org were 800.000 in 2006 and
| 1.800.000 in 2007: the difference is exactly in the million of Italians
| that - according to Microsoft - have downloaded the trial version of Office
| 2007. We think that these users have decided to switch to OpenOffice.org as
| soon as they have realized that the effort to get used to the new ribbon
| interface is higher than the effort to migrate to the open source suite. In
| 2007, the majority of information requests has been about the compatibility
| with Windows Vista, and the trend stays unchanged in 2008".
