Finance Ministry of Latvia: Considering Open Source
Gradual transition to open source software at government institutions is a proposal that should be given serious consideration, stressed the Finance Ministry of Latvia.
The Finance Ministry already uses various open source solutions for the maintenance of its IT infrastructure, reports LETA.

An important factor against such software is the problem of Latvianization of the software.
