Ecolo switching to Ubuntu

Ecolo is switching to Ubuntu desktops. (They are the French speaking green party of Belgium, with 12.3% and 14.3% of French speaking votes for senate and chamber of representatives respectively). Respect!

"12.3% and 14.3%"

I think you forgot to mention the denominator... I guess it is of 'Walloon and Brussels voters'?

I am sure it is not 'of Belgian voters'.

Maybe it is 'of brown desktops' or 'of friendly tree huggers'?

Senate and chamber of representatives.

chamber: 8/150 = 5.3%
senate: 5/71 = 7%
Walloon Parlament: 14/75 = 18.7%
Frensh speaking council: 17/94 = 18%
German speaking council: 3/25 = 12%
Brussels Parlament: 16/89 = 18 %

What numbers did you mean?

Guess it are the percentage of seats in the chamber and senate but only calculated on the number of people able to vote on écolo, so only Wallonia, maybe Brussels-Halle-Vilvorde included, not on all Belgians.

Complicated enough? :p
