Here are three links, send in that application for infomation minister
Here are a couple of the key quotes for those that do not want to read the whole articles. The links are below.

"As part of Lula's pro-free-software policy, the government began training 2,000 public employees and switching out the Microsoft operating systems used on 300,000 federal computers and installing Linux."
