Talend's Data Integration Power Play
,----[ Quote ]
| One such vendor is open source data integration specialist Talend, which --
| with more than 250 adapters into relational databases, enterprise
| applications, legacy systems, and other data sources -- claims to match or
| exceed the breadth of connectivity touted by market leaders Informatica
| Corp., SAS Institute Inc., and IBM Corp. Because Talend is all open source,
| it easily beats the best-of-breeds on pricing, officials claim.

South Africans don’t understand OSS - Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| Despite having an open source strategy the South African government doesn’t
| really understand how to benefit from OSS. This is according to Microsoft
| director of corporate standards, Jason Matusow. Matusow, who was in South
| Africa on an “external outreach” trip around the time SA adopted ODF as a
| national standard, writes on his blog that not only does government not
| understand how to benefit from open source software, but South Africans were
| unlikely to ever do any “deep” development work on Linux.
