Here are todays results of our EURO 2012 in Free Software and open standards. This time, I found the match Belgium vs. Austria the most challenging.
Moules Frites (cc by-sa 2.0)
Sachertorte (cc by-sa 3.0)
It looks easy considering only the public administration page where we have the following:
In Vienna, they started to migrate to OpenOffice.org and GNU/Linux in 2005. And in 2010, Linz is being called region for Free Software (German).
So much for the Austrian part, the Belgian government chose the OpenDocument Format in 2006, the Ministry of Justice reported Half of all desktop PCs migrated to GNU/Linux and in 2009, the city of Schoten sets the example how to be a good player in the Free Software community.
But as I wrote at the beginning of this tournament, we also consider what’s been done on the education sector:

where Belgium has almost nothing. Still, I let Belgium win, because I have the feeling again that the government, the institution we are judging here, really unterstood the issue. Austria got it too, somehow, but not to the same extend. I’d really love to hear more opinions on this and I will be happy to change the scoring.
Enough words said, let’s have a look at the numbers:

The next matches are due on November 17, 2010. I hope you all help us to collect more data in the meantime and – more importantly – convince more governments to use Free Software and Open Standards!
