Three German KDE Deployments
============================

   The IT Service Center Berlin has announced the development of a
desktop system [http://www.itdz-berlin.de/presse/85.html] for the public
services in Germany's capital (Google Translate to English)

This is yet another public body making the switch to the Free Desktop
system. The announcement talks about the good integration of KDE with
their current infrastructure, which is partly based on Microsoft's
software. According to the ITDZ's press release, the integration phase
has successfully finished and the KDE-based client for Berlin's
administration is now ready for prime time. At LinuxTag, a big German
Free Software conference and fair, the "Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der
Informationstechnik", Germany's national information security group,
announced their successful porting of KDE's Email and Groupware client

to the three major platforms, Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. Finally, the
"Auswärtiges Amt", responsible for German embassies in more than 200
countries also showed their KDE based desktop client at LinuxTag, which
has been deployed to their employees already.
