The unions are the key to FOSS in NYC.
They need to be shown how/what FOSS is.
They need to be shown how much NYC is wasting on proprietary software,audit compliance, and everything related.
And they need to be shown how many jobs are being replaced because of the wasted money being sent to ms instead of being paid to teachers, firemen, policemen, other first responders, and other critical city workers.
Unions are the key. If the community can get the unions to pick up the fight, FOSS will be a widespread reality in NYC, and ms won't know what hit them. If the unions are not shown the light, and they don't join the fight to save critical monies in NYC, then FOSS will go nowhere because of the deals that ms will throw at NYC to keep NYC as part of the collective.
