However, few studies have been devoted to determine the reasons for not adopting open source desktop software. In order to address this issue, we present a case study on the Belgian Federal Public Service (FPS) Economy which considered the use of OpenOffice.org, but eventually decided not to adopt OpenOffice.org as their primary office suite. This decision was to a large degree influenced by the fact that a large number of users within the FPS Economy perform dataâintensive tasks such as statistical data analysis and reporting on a daily basis. Notwithstanding the fact that several reasons were actually in favor of the migration, we have identified several barriers that may discourage the use of OpenOffice.org in similar environments.&#8221;</p> +<p>The entire paper is available online at the link above for a detailed reading.</p></content> + <author> + <name>Benjamin Horst</name> + <uri>http://www.solidoffice.com</uri> + </author> + <source> + <title type="html">SolidOffice » OpenOffice.org</title> + <subtitle type="html">Home of The Tiny Guide to OpenOffice.org</subtitle> + <link rel="self" href="http://www.solidoffice.com/archives/category/openofficeorg/feed"/> + <id>http://www.solidoffice.com/archives/category/openofficeorg/feed</id> + <updated>2008-10-30T18:00:20+00:00</updated> + </source> + </entry> + + <entry xml:lang="en"> <title type="html">2.4.2 - the real story</title> <link href="http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2008/10/29/242-the-real-story/"/> <id>http://www.mealldubh.org/?p=598</id> @@ -27,7 +70,7 @@ <subtitle type="html">a view from a dark hill</subtitle> <link rel="self" href="http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/category/open-source/openofficeorg/feed"/> <id>http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/category/open-source/openofficeorg/feed</id> - <updated>2008-10-29T18:34:59+00:00</updated> + <updated>2008-10-30T18:00:15+00:00</updated> </source> </entry> @@ -48,7 +91,7 @@ <subtitle type="html">Home of The Tiny Guide to OpenOffice.org</subtitle> <link rel="self" href="http://www.solidoffice.com/archives/category/openofficeorg/feed"/> <id>http://www.solidoffice.com/archives/category/openofficeorg/feed</id> - <updated>2008-10-29T18:00:17+00:00</updated> + <updated>2008-10-30T18:00:20+00:00</updated> </source> </entry> @@ -97,7 +140,7 @@ <subtitle type="html">A weblog by Charles-H.

However, few studies have been devoted to determine the reasons for not adopting open source desktop software. In order to address this issue, we present a case study on the Belgian Federal Public Service (FPS) Economy which considered the use of OpenOffice.org, but eventually decided not to adopt OpenOffice.org as their primary office suite. This decision was to a large degree influenced by the fact that a large number of users within the FPS Economy perform dataâintensive tasks such as statistical data analysis and reporting on a daily basis. Notwithstanding the fact that several reasons were actually in favor of the migration, we have identified several barriers that may discourage the use of OpenOffice.org in similar environments.&#8221;</p> +<p>The entire paper is available online at the link above for a detailed reading.</p></description> + <pubDate>Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:43:23 +0000</pubDate> +</item> +<item> <title>John McCreesh: 2.4.2 - the real story</title> <guid>http://www.mealldubh.org/?p=598</guid> <link>http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2008/10/29/242-the-real-story/</link> @@ -201,11 +220,11 @@ Last posts on the same subject. <ul class="st-related-posts"> - <li><a href="http://www.italovignoli.org/2007/05/28/gli-italiani-cercano-openofficeorg/" title="Gli italiani cercano OpenOffice.org (28 May 2007)">Gli italiani cercano OpenOffice.org</a> (0)</li> - <li><a href="http://www.italovignoli.org/2007/11/07/martin-lutero-e-le-quattro-liberta-del-software/" title="Martin Lutero e le quattro libert&agrave; del software (7 November 2007)">Martin Lutero e le quattro libert&agrave; del software</a> (1)</li> - <li><a href="http://www.italovignoli.org/2008/03/03/im-confused/" title="I&#8217;m confused (3 March 2008)">I&#8217;m confused</a> (1)</li> - <li><a href="http://www.italovignoli.org/2008/07/16/whats-happening-at-microsoft-italy/" title="What&#8217;s happening at Microsoft Italy?
