Erwin Tenhumberg on the French Ministry for Agriculture and Fishing

Erwin Tenhumberg writes on his blog, French Ministry for Agriculture and Fishing choosing OpenOffice.org.

It looks like another French government agency is making the migration!

Someone kindly provided a rough translation of the original French article as a comment on Erwin’s blog, which indicates that 120 advisors of the ministry have chosen OOo and they are planning to migrate the organization itself in the near future.

With the number of large French government agencies adopting OpenOffice in the past 18 months, and the general enthusiasm for ODF across the EU, I fully expect France to became one of the biggest backers of ODF/OOo and to make a formal announcement of it soon. This will provide the movement with a great boost of momentum, and open the doors to Europe-wide adoption of OpenDocument as a government standard.
