PL: Police considers moving to open source 

,----[ Quote ]
| The Polish Police force wants to increase its 
| use of free and open source software in order 
| to cut costs, announces Andrzej Trela, Deputy 
| Chief of Police and responsible for 
| logistics, in an interview in the Police 
| force's monthly newsletter, published on 15 
| January. 
| 
| [...]
| 
| The latter remark suggests to the Polish 
| Foundation on Free and Open Source (Fwioo), 
| that the police might use the savings on 
| proprietary licences to pay for innovation. 
| The Fwioo mentions the interview on the 
| website of their project on Transparent and 
| Correct Public IT Tenders (PPIT).
