DE: One fifth of Freiburg city council migrated to OpenOffice
In the German city of Freiburg, four hundred of the two thousand PCs used by the city council are now running OpenOffice.
The migration to the Open Source suite of office applications is a intermediate goal, saving the city up to half a million euro in licence costs. The city’s final aim is to switch to an Open Source desktop.
The council began its office application migration last July, when it decided to use the ISO-approved Open Document Format (ODF) as a document standard.
