NL: Dutch police will study moving to open source 

,----[ Quote ]
| The Dutch police will start investigating how to increase its use of open 
| standards and open source software. A plan to implement the two types of 
| software should be ready early next year, just in time to meet the 
| government's deadline.   
| 
| The police's IT analysis is mentioned in a letter from Guusje ter Horst, the 
| Interior Minister, to the Dutch parliament, published on 1 July. "If 
| possible, the Dutch police force will make use of the experiences of other 
| organisations. Procurements will then be carried out according to this 
| implementation plan. I will ensure that the cabinet's policy on open 
| standards is implemented and that a policy on using open source will be 
| developed."
