How to Live Aligned with Brazil is one of the countries with the most LibreOffice and OpenOffice users in the world, with an estimated 1 million of computers running the free office suites, the government seeks to carry out a contribution more effective in these projects. |
The Brazilian government has signed a letter of commitment by which they will try to work with The Document Foundation and the Apache Foundation in the development of the two office suites. The letter states that the standard format for ODF documents is a guarantee of work for the administration, where both applications are used massively.
As reported in The H-Open, paper of intention was signed on July 1 during the International Free Software Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil, by members of the government and prominent foundations: Marcos Mazoni, coordinator of the Free Software Implementation Committee, Sady Jacques, representative of the SoftwareLivre Association .org, Jomar Silva, member of the Apache OpenOffice.org community, and Oliver Hallor, member of the LibreOffice community.

Hopefully here in Chile the government will adopt the use of Free Software as a state policy, the amount of money that is spent on licenses is incredible, and I don't know what agreement they will have with Microsoft that each new chiche that is released is adopted by the public administration. However, something curious has happened to say the least, for about a year the Intellectual Property Crime Investigation Brigade of the Police has been supervising cyber cafes and seizing PCs with Windows and Office without licenses, last year they seized about 300 PCs And this year many more, the issue is that this forced the owners of Ciber Cafes to look for other alternatives to be able to continue with their businesses, and which one do you think. What did they choose? That's right, Linux. Today a large part of the cyber of Valparaiso has a Linux distribution on their computers. Draw your conclusions.
Greetings.
great news. We need a mature and robust office suit, and currently libreoffice does not fully comply with this. My parents now have a libreoffice at work, and they have already started to have hangups and things like that: S
Let's go libreoffice I have faith in you, the more they help the faster results are obtained.
btw, how far we are from brazil, they helping free software and we fighting with the nonsense they want to impose, like the canon ... how far we are
Great news.
The other day I found out how much money the Ministry where I work is spending to pay for Microsoft licenses. It gave me such a great sorrow ... and to think that that money could be destined to give him more education, health, etc. to our people.
That's right ... MUUUUUYY away.
Hello,
For a few months I have been moving to Linux, I use opensuse, I have gradually managed to adapt to this transfer, I have some difficulties, for example the printer, I cannot find the connection for a Lexmark X74, could someone tell me the procedure, I am also looking for a way to upload videos from a JVC miniDV video camera and from a small recorder to an oypmpus (difital voice recorder VN-100PC
Thank you
