Definitely do post them here.

The French government has been pushing for more and more use of Open
Source software in government departments (while, at the same time,
killing itself trying to make FLOSS illegal, *sigh*). eg:
OpenOffice.org is used throughout the French IRS and Gendarmerie.
Meanwhile, there are dissenting elements within government departments
who are scaremongering with details of how OOo's security is even more
vulnerable than that of M$-Office[0].

I'd be interested to hear Herr Gräsing's take on the issue.
