Flemish Region to educate citizens on open source

,----[ Quote ]
| The Flemish regional Government wants to educate its citizens on "free 
| software (open source)", it writes in its coalition agreement published on 10 
| July 2009.  
| 
| The open source information is meant to help to increase the region's use of 
| the Internet, including electronic government services, media, culture, 
| health services and eLearning.

The Open Source Desktop Made Easy

,----[ Quote ]
| That's why for some time I've been advocating a phased introduction of open 
| source software. This means swapping out programs like Internet Explorer, 
| Outlook and Microsoft Office, and swapping in Firefox, Thunderbird and 
| OpenOffice.org, but sticking with Windows. Once users are comfortable with 
| these on that platform, it is possible to shift them across to GNU/Linux, 
| using the same apps. Aside from one or two trivial changes of menu structure, 
| the programs work identically across both, which means that users can 
| concentrate on just one aspect of the second move: getting to know GNU/Linux.
