Toronto going Open Source

[JoeHill]

Thought those of you who were talking about organizing a proposal for T.O. to go
Linux might be interested in this.

    On March 5, Oregon became the first state in U.S. history to formally
    consider legislation relating to government acquisition of Open Source
    software. Within two weeks a similar bill was introduced into the
    Texas state legislature. Microsoft-funded lobbyists descended in swarms
    upon both capitols to destroy the proposals. Anyone interested in
    working for Open Source-related legislation elsewhere would do well to
    study what happened.
