Hi Mark, all,

[@Mark: what's the best place to send this so that it reaches the
whole group? For now, could you please forward this mail? thanks!]


the Dutch ministry of the Interior has made available a report
pointing to huge possible savings that could be achieved by moving
to Free Software:

	http://www.osor.eu/news/nl-moving-to-open-source-would-save-government-one-to-four-billion

Also, tomorrow should see the publication of a report on the topic
by the national auditors. Should be fun.



Best regards,
Karsten
