Interesting news from the OpenOffice.org Newsletter:

Banco do Brasil completes migration to OpenOffice.org
-----------------------------------------------------
"Federally owned Banco do Brasil has completed the migration of all its
Windows XP computers to the OpenOffice.org open source suite, reported
local tech service Computerworld. The migration involved 35,000 PCs, and
Banco do Brasil now aims to migrate another 30,000 computers that use
the OS/2 operating system. These should all migrate to the OpenOffice.org
system by year-end. Brazil was one of the first countries in the region
to adopt a policy of migration to open source at the government level,
prompting multinationals to increase development in this area."
