Hi all, I just read http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2006/02/23/bristol_migration.html?page=2 and thought.. 'if only cornwall county council had a fraction of that clue'. Bristol of course, has frozen council tax, while Cornwall County Council has yet another rise of over twice inflation... I wonder how much Devon and Cornwall Council would benefit from moving to Star/OpenOffice.. Having seen parish council staff paying to get copying and stapling done Staples rather than do it themselves, I think their laziness is probably costing us a fortune. I have yet to hear a single positive word about any council down here (cornwall) - CCC is shockingly awful - their website still requires IE to apply for jobs (after 3 years of being a beta), and they seem intent on killing newquay airport (no morning stansted flights, no malaga flights), while lavishing generous expenses on councillors. I've heard all kinds of second hand rumours about their IT competance, and what I've seen of them makes it entirely believable that they are wasting a fortune.
