I haven't noticed any messages lately about efforts to get a Linux foothold at the City of Toronto. Anyone interested should read an article on page A14 of this morning's Globe & Mail.
Quote: "The city's problem is that 14,000 of its 17,500 computers are of 1999 vintage or older, which means that the operating system they run on is Microsoft Windows NT, a program which the software company will no longer support after some time next year, and they do not have the capacity to run on the next generation of software, Windows XP, which the city plans to switch to."

Yikes ! It sounds like a golden opportunity is starting to rust ! The earlier thread "Toronto Municipal Open Source Revolution, anyone ?" had a flash of enthusiasm and then very little follow through. Who else is going to champion this cause, if not us ? How can we keep the flame under this one ? djp -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
