However, I'd advocate trying to use the term "open source" or
"open standards" as opposed to "free"<br>
whenever possible.<br>

<pre>Dear nmglugers,
I came upon this article:

in which they discuss external review of Santa Fe's IT infrastructure.
These overhauls sometimes involve picking some company, reading their
brochure, and giving them a contract.
I have seen a large institution where they replaced the UW IMAP server
with a Microsoft exchange system, going from 50% of an employee to run
the institution's email to 3 full-time people to run the Microsoft
... It would also be cool if someone had the
ear of the city's IT planners and could propose some free software
adoption, as well as a requirement free software compatibility.
