French National Assembly Embraces Open Source

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the va-la-penguins dept.

eldavojohn writes "The French National Assembly is in the news as they have recently switched to Linux, OpenOffice.org & open source software at the request of several deputy members. Bernard Carayon wrote it it into the proposal entitled 'On Equal Terms' [French PDF]. From the article, 'IT staff at the National Assembly have almost six months to prepare the switch to open source.' The same document urged France to adopt ODF as a standard. Hopefully things go more smoothly for them than the Birmingham library effort."

    They're socialists and their women will be wearing burqas soon anyway once the islamofascists they invited into their country take power.

      Nothing like a good dose of xenophobia and ignorance to brighten up the day! Out of curiosity, were you born stupid or was it something that you've worked hard at? Everyone needs a goal, eh?

    I will admit, they are a fairly good and consistent road bump for Germany.
