[odf-discuss] Fwd: What's up in Brazil WRT Microsoft vs Free Software, or the longest couple of weeks ever

[Alberto Barrionuevo]

Hi guys,

     the things are really hot in Brazil because their Ministry of Labor 
decided to waste $20mio. in licenses of the last MS-Office (including the 
infamous OOXML).

     OOo (actually OObr) and free software people have got to put the matter 
in standby for a week and is presenting alternatives.

     Any help will be helpful. I'm copying to Alexandre Oliva, from the FSF-LA 
who could serve as a proxy with the actual Brazilian team working in the 
matter.

     More direct and so updated info, in Brazilian, can be found in this news 
website [her responsible is BCCed, together with FFII PT responsibles]:

     For example: "The hungry and the MS licenses"

     Best,
        Alberto.
