LibreUmbria, the migration project of Regione Umbria to LibreOffice, has been awarded a prize for innovation – for metholodology and process – as one of top 10 Italian government projects in 2012/2013.
The migration project has been launched in September 2012, and is documented on the project’s website at www.libreumbria.it (only in Italian). So far, the first 1,000 users – on a total of 6,000 for the first stage – have been migrated to LibreOffice at Provincia di Perugia, without any significant problem.
Good news 🙂
Hope other Italian regions will follow 🙂
If you want to migrate from Microsoft Project at the same time…. we have released ProjectLibre http://www.projectlibre.org which is a replacement. We have an Italian translated version. It simply opens existing MS Project files. Congratulations on the migration!!!! We will see many more with your success…..
We use LibreOffice very happily for our documents and spreadsheets. I am glad to see an Italian regional government following suit. Good luck!
