Los Angeles California to consider OpenOffice as replacement for MS Office

Three Los Angeles council members want the city to switch to an open-source platform to save millions of dollars in software costs. Council members Eric Garcetti, Wendy Greul and Jack Weiss introduced a motion yesterday asking the city's Information Technology Agency about a transition from proprietary software licenses to open-source platforms and programs. The money saved could be used to hire more police personnel, the council members said.
