Malaysia’s schools get OpenOffice.org

The Malaysian government has unveiled plans to roll out OpenOffice.org in schools across the nation–a move that will affect some 300,000 PCs. Announced Wednesday by the chief minister of the state of Terengganu, the initiative will see all 467 schools in the Malaysian state using the open source office suite from January next year. Some 100 schools in the state are already using OpenOffice.org, after the first phase of deployment began in January this year
