ODF/OpenOffice.org report published by the Finnish government
The Finnish Ministry of Justice just published a new report about their adoption of OpenOffice.org and ODF. Here is a quote:

"Negative experiences in the migration have been rare during the first two months of 2007. The positive results of the 2006 OpenOffice.org pilot project have been valid also in the actual migration. Also the opposition to the change in office software has been very rare. The posi- tive attitude can be strengthened by focusing in training, standards complying document tem- plates, good handbooks and supportive tools. The strong points like the support for standards and document interoperability in addition to the free installation possibilities of OpenOffice.org are emphasized in the introduction of the software to new users.

The Ministry of Justice is an important customer to several Finnish IT companies. The com- panies produce large amounts of IT systems documentation as part of their services. The mi- gration to OpenDocument file format in systems documentation has also started."
