Just had a look at the TV and saw the following
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/england/devon/8181884.stm
About 100 people have protested against Plymouth City Council's
plans to sell off council-owned bus firm CityBus.
Just after seeing that I came across the following website
http://knol.google.com/k/ruben-rubio-rey/howto-migrate-to-linux/2zt8z36uq2soj/2
- Given that DCC has about 6,000 computers and Torbay has about 1,700
computers, I would guess that Plymouth has probably about 2,000
computers
- Depending on the financial model chosen, IF Plymouth switched over to
OpenSource then they could expect savings of between £100,000 and
£1.2m a year
Anyone in Plymouth want to ask some pointed questions? (Examples of
bureaucracies that have switched to opensource include: Bristol City
Govenrment, French Gendarmarie, German Foreign Ministry, French
Parliament)
