Europe Is Falling Behind On Open Source

Posted by Zonk on Friday June 3, 2005 @01:29AM from the pick-up-the-pace dept.

Superentity writes "Computer Business Review is reporting that an official at the European Commission has called on Europe to take a more proactive approach to open source or risk missing out, and outlined steps that European businesses and governments can take to help open source." From the article: "In the US most of the large companies have clear strategies to increase open source in their product lines...In Asia and Latin America, we see that there are many national and regional projects to develop and to work on open source."

The city of Paris is not renewing its Windows sub. by Anonymous Coward · 2005-06-03 01:36 · Score: 2, Informative

I believe the city of Paris has announced that it will be installing Mandriva Linux on all of its computers, cutting the cost of Windows licences. Hasn't Berlin also announced this?
