Details of the Gendarmerie Nationale’s migration to OpenOffice are expected to be revealed at the Solutions Linux 2005 event in Paris in early February, but French industry web site TooLinux reports that 35,000 desktops will soon be moved from Microsoft Office to OpenOffice.
A total of 80,000 desktops are expected to be migrated between now and the summer of 2005, with costs savings in the region of 2m euros ($2.6m).
