Hi all, A Bill has been placed before the Texas (USA) State Senate by senator John Corona, asking the TX govt to consider OSS and Open Standards while considering purchase of software by the state govt. Incidentally the state of Texas is facing a budget crisis, and if the Bill is passed, it will help the state to save a lot of money.
