    Presentations focused on pitching FOSS to municipal govs?

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm going to be pitching Ubuntu and a few open source tools to my city government and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any presentations tailored towards municipal govs out there? Ideally, it should introduce them to open source from a security and cost standpoint but also maybe have a little sugar to tease their IT folks with too.

    Thanks!

    Kudos!

    Tell them, that the Office programs (Open/Libre office) are all there right after install, PDF-s also work, firefox is also in the bundle and networking and security works from the start...

    IMHO don't scare them with Natty or Oneiric, use a LTS edition.
