Kasvi: Preparing the Parliament for Linux

Friday, September 30th 2005 at 18:48 in Miscellaneous

According to Jyrki J. J. Kasvi's blog, the Finnish Parliament should start preparing for migration to Linux and OpenOffice. Linux is already being used for servers, and the next step would be to adopt the OpenDocument format for governmental communications.

The OpenDocument format has been in the news recently, now that StarOffice 8 is out.

Perhaps we will finally get out of the MS Word lockin and actually have some interoperability for office documents...

	Jyrki J.J. Kasvi 13.10.2005 20:26:48 Kruiik, what makes you think so?
	Kruiik 19.10.2005 07:20:05 Blogistasi 27.9.: "...Esimerkiksi Open Office -ohjelmiston testaaminen ja pilotointi olisi aloitettava..." ODF on hieno asia, mutta OpenOffice ei ole ainut vaihtoehto. Jos OpenOffice hyväksytään "tuosta vaan" niin kohta ollaan samassa tilanteessa kuin nykyään MS Officen kanssa.
