Two articles i saw today:
one in slashdot: Paris going opensource
http://politics.slashdot.org/politics/05/11/21/180220.shtml?tid=185&tid=219
And that link goes to another link - and deep inside the article a chestnut:
http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;1941298570;fp;16;fpid;0
This strategic direction resulted in the interconnection of the city
authority's scattered offices, and a plan to replace or upgrade the
many applications on which the city relies. Paris plans to introduce
a new payroll system on Jan. 1, and then replace other elements of
its accounting, purchasing and human resources management systems
through 2007 and 2008. Would-be suppliers of these applications must
show that their products can be integrated at the desktop and server
levels with free software components, the city said. Bids based on
open-source software will be considered on the same basis as bids
using proprietary software, it said.
Mr. X, Eric, Frederic and the other French Revolutionaries will have
a lot more work soon!! There will always be a need for Rev apps to
glue it all together. Congratulations.
