Fedora as Basis of Russia's Operating System?
,----[ Quote ]
| It's good news that Red Hat has had the opportunity to talk to senior
| government officials about open source - in this case, at the ministry of
| communications - but what's much more important are the specifics mentioned
| in the story:
|
|
| На встрече обсуждался широкий круг вопросов, касающихся развития рынка
| свободного программного обеспечения (СПО) и его практического применения
| в действующих системах. Отдельно отмечена важность создания российского
| сообщества разработчиков Russian Fedora, которое может послужить одним из
| шагов навстречу создания отечественной операционной системы. Министр
| отметил: «Мы считаем, что интеллектуальный потенциал российских
| специалистов таков, что в России можно вести не только сборку, но и
| полноценную разработку кода».

Russia To Develop a National Operating System
,----[ Quote ]
| "According to Russian media, the Russian Government is going to develop a
| National Operating System (Google translation; Russian original) to lower its
| dependencies on foreign software technology licensing. The Russian plan will
| base its efforts on Linux and expects a worldwide impact. Microsoft is also
| involved in the roundtable process that led to the recommendation. The
| Chinese government successfully lowered its Microsoft licensing costs through
| an early investment in a national Linux distribution. I wonder if other large
| markets, such as the European Union, will also develop their own Linux
| distributions or join in the Russian initiative."

ALT Linux 4.1.1 Desktop Released
,----[ Quote ]
| Alexey Rusakov announced on January 14th the immediate availability of the
| desktop edition of ALT Linux 4.1.1 DVD, a general purpose GNU/Linux
| distribution designed to be used on workstations, laptops and netbooks.
| Besides the usual bug fixes and improvements, ALT Linux 4.1.1's most
| important feature is the inclusion of an installation DVD ISO image with
| English as the default language. "ALT Linux proudly presents a new release of
| our desktop distribution, ALT Linux 4.1.1 Desktop. [...] We also released a
| separate DVD with English as the default language so that you don't need to
| crawl through cryptic Russian letters on early steps. Happy using!" -
| Alexey Rusakov said in the official release announcement.

| Although the proposal is still in its early stages, the attractiveness of the
| proprosal to a government keen to assert its independence at all levels is
| obvious. It will be interesting to see how this develops.
