Some numbers, details and pure data and links about governments, public departments and public authorities using OpenOffice.org or planning to do so.

• Comment: I think, the best place to collect specific data like this is here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Major_OpenOffice.org_Deployments#Europe or I suggest to explain why we should maintain this page. -- guido 2010-06-17 22:30:24

  Comment: I think we should not. I was asked to come up with this list, the trouble is that the list on Openoffice.org's wiki is uncomplete and doesn't provide essential data like the number of desktops. So until then, I had to begin this myself. But I agree it shouldn't last here. -- hugo 2010-06-25 13:32:24
