[P.A.]Debian Weekly News

[Francesco Potorti`]

Debian in the Spanish Administration. It is worth noticing that in
Spain, the [12]Ministerio para las Administraciones Publicas (roughly
translated as "Ministry for Public Administrations) has published
guidelines for [13]standardisation, [14]security and [15]conservation
of information. All documents recommend the use of Debian as a free
GNU/Linux distribution.

Recommendation for Migration in Germany. The German [39]Federal
Ministry of the Interior is about to release a [40]recommendation
paper that demonstrates how to use Free Software in governmental
agencies. However, each agency will still have to decide on their own
whether to use Free Software or something else. The paper will be
[41]discussed in detail at [42]LinuxTag next month in Karlsruhe,
Germany.
