Paris accelerates move to open source
The city of Paris is accelerating its move to free and open-source software as part of a strategy to reduce its dependence on suppliers. It plans to replace more of its software, both on servers and desktops, with open-source.
Earlier this year, volunteers among the city's 46,000 staff were invited to
download and install open-source software, including the Firefox browser and
Open Office.org. Now, the city is planning to migrate all the users of one
city department or all of those in one of the city's 20 districts, not just
the volunteers, to test a larger migration. The city has 17,000
workstations, up from 12,000 in 2001.Para mais informações: Paris accelerates move to open source
