| DEMAND FOR OPEN SOURCE
|
| The increased demand from government customers for open-source solutions is
| helping encourage those partnerships, Vass said.
|
| Federal contractors are looking for vendors to deliver enterprise-class,
| scalable, opensource products, he said.
|
| Factors underlying that demand include the cost and security profile of open
| source, he said. “Getting open source for free is still a selling point for a
| lot of customers because they can start on a project right away rather than
| waiting for contracts to be negotiated for support,” Vass said.

Viva El Software Libre!
,----[ Quote ]
| So if you ever need to know about free software in Belize or about the
| Fundación Código Libre Dominicano, you know where to go. Two countries stand
| out: Brazil (no surprise) and Uruguay (a big surprise, for me at least),
| which has more than half a dozen organisations supporting free software.

OpenOffice.org and ODF adoption in Malaysia - thumbs up!
,----[ Quote ]
| Now, you can hold them to their word, as they update a Wiki page, informing
| you about how many agencies are moving to OpenOffice.org. Big wins, once all
| of the Malaysian government related agencies are on OpenOffice.org (open
| source software in general). Again, read OpenOffice.org and ODF Adoption!
