Regional council adopts open source
,----[ Quote ]
| Horizons Regional Council will take open-
| source software for a spin on its desktop
| computers early this year under a push to
| bring free software to public sector PCs.
|
| New Zealand Open Source Society president Don
| Christie says NZ Post and the Department of
| the Prime Minister and Cabinet will also
| trial the software as part of the Public
| Sector Remix project.
|
| Fourteen government agencies have signed up
| for the project, and as of Wednesday 32 firms
| had responded to a survey seeking to identify
| the number and capability of New Zealand
| companies providing and supporting open-
| source software.
