| somerville32 | Anybody want some juicy Ubuntu gossip? :P | 18:56 |
| Burgundavia | somerville32: sure | 19:25 |
| somerville32 | Burgundavia, I heard from a certain birdy that certain federal departments in Canada are piloting a migration to Ubuntu | 19:26 |
| boredandblogging | thats awesome news | 19:28 |
| Burgundavia | very cool | 19:29 |
| Burgundavia | any ideas which ones | 19:29 |
| Burgundavia | ? | 19:29 |
| somerville32 | It has something to do with money | 19:30 |
| somerville32 | Basically, they're moving to everyone to Laptops at the same time too | 19:31 |
| somerville32 | At first, it'll dual boot windows and Ubuntu | 19:31 |
| Burgundavia | ahh | 19:31 |
| somerville32 | But, you didn't hear this from me :) | 19:32 |
| MenZa | :o | 20:04 |
| MenZa | ooh good gossip | 20:04 |
| somerville32 | MenZa, I try my best ;] | 21:00 |
| somerville32 | Btw | 21:05 |
| somerville32 | The department that is piloting this is Service Canada | 21:05 |
| somerville32 | The pilot will see 100 people move over to a dualboot | 21:06 |
| somerville32 | If it works, they'll migrate the other twenty-eight thousand workstations | 21:08 |
| somerville32 | btw, this isn't to go into the UWN :P | 21:08 |

| * somerville32 harvests more juicy info | 21:19 | |
| boredandblogging | somerville32: are they use canonical or third party vendors to do that? | 21:38 |
| somerville32 | They aren't at that point yet to decide. | 21:38 |
| somerville32 | But I imagine both | 21:38 |
| somerville32 | They'll higher contractors to bring in for a few years and also buy a vendor contract (ie. Canonical) | 21:39 |
