Open Source joins European election battle
,----[ Quote ]
| THE FREE SOFTWARE movement is trying to recruit European election candidates
| to fight big software business interests in Brussels.
|
| Campaign group The Free Software Pact has already recruited 96 candidates in
| France and Italy. This week it appointed open source operator, Mark Taylor,
| to lobby candidates in the UK. It is also establishing campaigns in Germany
| and Spain.
|
| Mark Taylor told the INQ: "A massive amount of the politics that's relevant
| to free software happens in Europe. Its phenomenaly important for people who
| care to ask their MEP candidate to sign the Free Software Pact."

| As regular readers of these posts will have noticed, politic issues are
| starting to impinge more and more on the world of free software and openness
| in general. I think that's the result of two trends.

Linux s'il vous plaît: French Gendarmie say oui to Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| The Gendarmie Nationale – France’s national police force – has been slowly
| introducing open source software to its 105,000+ policemen since 2005. In
| 2008 the decision was made to use only Ubuntu for all new workstations. A
| year on shows this has been a great success with happy users, a better
| network and cost savings of over seven million euro per year.
