EU: Europarlement testing Ubuntu, OpenOffice and Firefox
April 11th, 2008
From the article:
The European Parliament’s IT department is testing the use of GNU/Linux distribution Ubuntu, OpenOffice, Firefox and other Open Source applications, the British MEP James Nicholson explained last week in a letter to Italian MEP Marco Cappato.
According to Nicholson the tests show this Open Source configuration meets the Parliament’s office requirements. It does not mean that Ubuntu will immediate replace the currently used system, he added. “This depends on long-term developments and needs and functional requirements of the Parliament. The stability of our IT systems is crucial.”
I think this is pretty cool!
