Also, in Extremadura and in Andalusia, the local governments have published the list of different subjects a technician runing for a place inside those administrations can be challenged during the examinations for a public place, and those also include a wide part of OSS (again Debian GNU/Linux is mentioned all over the place).

Cannot find my links right now, just changed computers.
