Vietnam meets Extremadura to learn about open source
I just came across this Spanish article. Apparently the Vietnamese government met with people from Extremadura (Spain) in order to exchange ideas and experiences around the adoption of open source. It's great to see governments start their own kind of "community building"! BTW, more information about Extremadura's open source efforts can be found in this video.

In this context, it's amazing to see how many people from different French ministries and other government agencies are actively participating in the French OpenOffice.org mailing lists and helping each other. You see domain names like equipement.gouv.fr, interieur.gouv.fr, culture.gouv.fr, douane.finances.gouv.fr, finances.gouv.fr, cotes-darmor.pref.gouv.fr, dgi.finances.gouv.fr, justice.gouv.fr, and hautes-pyrenees.pref.gouv.fr. It's no surprise that according to the OpenOffice.org user survey, France has the second largest OpenOffice.org user community. (Disclaimer: The survey is currently only available in English, French and German.)
