In the Latvian town called Ogre, the city council provides free training courses for OpenOffice.org as part of a policy to support and develop local businesses, OSOR.eu writes in LV: City council to provide OpenOffice courses.

The city wants to increase the number of local businesses. The initiative to organise OpenOffice training was taken by the municipal IT centre, the Ogre United Municipality Information System Centre (Ogre PVIS Centre), following discussions with organisations providing adult education.

The trainings are meant for all those in public administration, local businesses and citizens of the Ogre region. The courses will be hosted by the PVIS Centre. This is located next to the public library and provides cheap Internet access.
