    Municipal governments across Italy have been looking for ways to cut spending during our current challenging economic times. A few cities have turned to open source as a way of saving money with the city of Udine in north east Italy recently joining these efforts. The town has about 100,000 people and will begin a process to make OpenOffice the default productivity suite on each of its 900 computers by the end of the year. Additionally, the city plans to begin experimenting with complete open source systems, built on Linux, next year.
