Open Source Continues To Spread Through Official Circles
,----[ Quote ]
| Last March, the French Gendarmerie announced the
| dramatic reduction of its IT budget by 70%, thanks to
| the use of Open Source software, primarily in the
| form of Ubuntu desktops, and with the help of
| OpenOffice and Thunderbird, among others. Around this
| time last year, the German Foreign Office revealed
| that it had implemented Linux desktops in over half
| of the nation's 230 embassies and consulates, just
| one more in a long trail of German Open Source
| deployments, including the Ministry of the Interior,
| the state of Lower Saxony, and the City of Munich.

96% of French Public Sector Using Open Source Says New Service
,----[ Quote ]
| According to a French market survey, almost the
| entire public sector (96 %) is using open source. The
| most used applications are database management
| systems and content management systems.
|
| The research firm who carried out the survey
| presented a summary of its report on the use of open
| source in France on 17 September in Paris. The report
| is based on an online survey conducted during the
| summer of 2009 and followed up by interviews with 160
| IT project directors, heads of procurement and other
| IT decision makers, half of which are employed in the
| private sector and the other half representing the
| public sector. Another fifty interviews were held
| with IT vendors.
