Share experiences
-----------------------------
The goal of Rosario Software Libre v1.0 is sharing its own experience
of internal management and disseminate local policy implementation of
free software of the Municipality of Rosario in various sectors of the
citizenship. It also seeks to create an area of visibility for various
local initiatives, and thus, overall, transmit experiences of
implementation and usage in business, educational, governmental and
social areas, promoting the benefits of it use, adoption and free
developments.


The Free Software in the Municipality of Rosario
----------------------------------------------------------
The Municipality of Rosario in 1996 adopted a policy of internal
implementation of free software that keeps up today. At present, over
95% of servers and central services are implemented with GNU/Linux and
more than 500 PCs work entirely with free software thanks to Project
Munix [3].

These lines of action based on free and open tools evolved over time,
expanding and externalizing towards the community. Extending the use
of free software in various sectors (NGOs, CSOs, SMEs, libraries,
collectives, groups, etc.). and key actors (educators, communicators,
members of social organizations, youth, etc..) is a strategic action
that gives sustainability to the politics, helping to build a network
of community use. Thus, not only promotes the use of open standards in
society for information management, moreover, is achieved to frame the
users in a scenario of legality.
