[Admpub] Fwd: IDABC Open Source Observatory News Roundup - 23 April 2008

[Josep Vives]

Hola companys,

A enllaços també hi podriem afegir això, ¿no?

A banda de que igual, com a colectiu, podriem posar-nos en contacte amb
ells...

Té la gràcia del recull de casos de implantació de soft lliure. Per exemple,
en aquest butlletí parla de Zaragossa i l'OpenOffice.
