City Of Austin Migrating To OpenOffice.org

Posted by timothy on from the how-'bout-oo.o-in-the-smf dept.

An anonymous reader writes "NewsForge.com has a story up this morning about the City of Austin and the results of their pilot program on OpenOffice.org.

    Our shitty servers at work run software from Microsoft.com
    My hometown is Aiken.net
    I first attended SC.edu
