On the University migration to Free Software 

,----[ Quote ]
| Megatotoro described here how the recently announced University migration to 
| free software made a big splash in national newspapers and even on TV news. 
| The idea is to start by replacing MS Office suites by free software 
| equivalents (Open Office.org/Libre Office) and, eventually, dump Windows and 
| implement Linux.
| 
| I visited the online page of one of those newspapers to see the coverage and 
| the comments I read were, for the most part, very encouraging and positive. Of 
| course, the public is congratulating the University for the initiative of 
| saving a LOT OF MONEY (that was used to pay MS licenses) through the use of 
| Free Software and to invest this growing amount on improving the campus and on 
| resources available to students.
