EU Publishes Open Source Migration Guidelines

Posted by michael on from the order-a-copy-for-the-boss dept.

Skunil writes "The IDA Open Source Migration Guidelines provide practical and detailed recommendations on how to migrate to Open Source Software (OSS)-based office applications, calendaring, e-mail and other standard applications. These guidelines have been designed to help public administrators decide whether a migration to OSS should be undertaken and describe, in broad technical terms, how such a migration could be carried out. They are based on practical experience of a limited number of publicly available case studies, and cover a wide range of management and technical concerns."

    Isn't FreeBSD released under the BSD license? If you want free software rather than open source, Linux is the way to go, its under the GPL.

    No, I'm in the UK, and while the US system is shit, the EU is a complete joke; destroying all sovereignty and handing it over to Brussels, where your country can be dictated to by people you haven't even elected, I don't want some German telling me what laws to abide by.

    The worst thing is, you can't even leave the EU under their current constitution which is a fucking joke.
