Schools start to move to OpenOffice
,----[ Quote ]
| The city of MÃnster has started a pilot using
| OpenOffice in schools. The city's IT department,
| Citeq, will also switch all of the 150 servers used
| in its primary and secondary schools over to
| GNU/Linux. Half of these have already been migrated
| to open source.
| The changes in the school's IT systems are part of
| the overall IT strategy of the city's IT department.
|
| At two schools teachers are trying out OpenOffice at
| the moment. The suite will be made available to all
| schools in November. "We plan to make OpenOffice the
| default office application for schools", says Citeq's
| spokesperson Stefan Schoenfelder.
|
| The city earlier this month reported that 140 of its
| 360 servers are now running GNU/Linux. In a press
| statement published last week Wednesday, Citeq states
| that using open source is making it easier for the
| departments to share information.
|
| The administration is also saving considerable costs,
| writes Citeq. "Open source tools such as Linux are
| mature, so we consider their use is very economical."
|
| MÃnster is using a mix of Suse and Debian Gnu/Linux
| for its servers. These are used for instance as files
| servers, or for running the Typo3 open source content
| management system. They also use it for the
| proprietary Oracle database management system and the
| proprietary ERP system SAP, Schoenfelder says.

| As a supplement to my earlier posting: I think I should report that recent
| polls undertaken by infratest/dimap suggest that meanwhile the German
| Piratenpartei appears to be at approximately 3%.
