Update regarding the Dutch cities
I just found this Dutch article which made me understand the Dutch situation a little bit better. Apparently the eight Dutch cities are combining forces in order to put some pressure on their IT partners and IT suppliers, so that they also support open source alternatives. According to the article, several smaller Dutch cities have already adopted open source technologies like OpenOffice.org, but often had to deal with the problems themselves. Apparently, the eight cities want to increase their influence in the IT market and make themselves heard with respect to their open source requirements by closely collaborating together.
As usual, I hope the Dutch/Flemish readers of my blog will correct my statements if I misinterpreted things!
