I have been advised that Devon County Council has 6782 Microsoft Office licenses and currently have no plans to look at OpenOffice (the exact wording is "A project brief has not yet been produced. The outcome of the Boundary Committee Review of Local Government in Devon that has been underway during 2008 will have a significant influence on any strategic review of the Office Suite and associated desktop strategy.") Seems a bit of money waster to me. My initial idea was to write to: local MPs, local Councillors and ask them what steps they were taking to save money. But I suspect that we also need to get the local press involved as well. Christmas is probably a bad time to raise it: maybe in the new year.
