Avui s'ha votat definitivament la confirmaci� del contracte de Munich

The city's 82-member council, after more than a year of review, will 
vote tomorrow on a proposal to change to Linux, according to an agenda 
for the meeting. It would be the biggest PC defection to Linux ever, 
said Brendan Barnicle, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities in 
Portland, Oregon.

D'altra banda la ciutat de Bergen a Noruega consolidar� servidors
utilitzant m�quines d'IBM amb Linux [2]

En una entrevista [3] el CTO de Bergen es mostra molest per com s'ha
presentat el projecte a alguns diaris. M'ha semblat interessant la
resposta pel que fa a la gesti� del canvi en aquests casos:

Has anything about the process surprised you?
We haven't had any unpleasant surprises, other than the press 
coverage. Despite some press reports in the Norwegian papers, we are 
not chucking out Windows. For our employees used to working on Windows 
and Office, to open the paper and see incorrect reports saying that we 
were terminating use of Windows caused quite a bit of discussion. We 
have already paid for Windows, so it would not be a good economic 
decision to jump about. Sooner or later, our Office platform will 
reach the end of its life, and we will re-evaluate what we do. We will 
look at a Linux desktop next year, but we have to test it, and it 
would mean that the teachers would have to use both the pupil's Linux 
desktop and their own Windows desktops, which might make life hard for 
them. Sooner or later we will review that, but there are no decisions 
there as yet.
