Good evening,
Just a heads up: tomorrow there will be a vote in Portugal for a proposal that sets up a possible migration to Free Software in the Portuguese Parliament.
If approved, the parliament will have to: * Make all published documents available in the internet and on the internet abide an open standard. * Install in all desktops Free Software, specifically, an office suite and other tools. * Prepare a Free Software training program for the users. * Prepara a Free Software migration plan.
After this, there will be a second discussion and vote next year to decide if there will be such a migration. The proposal ID is 227/X: http://www3.parlamento.pt/PLC/Iniciativa.aspx?ID_Ini=33549
And you can find ANSOL's analysis in the PDF linked from our press release: http://listas.ansol.org/pipermail/ansol-imprensa/2007-October/000061.html
Best regards, João Miguel Neves
