Survey - "Show us the code" says China

,----[ Quote ]
| Elsewhere in the world, the survey confirmed the general trend that open 
| source software is now mainstream for enterprises. In North America, 41 per 
| cent were already using open source, with almost another ten per cent 
| planning to adopt or already adopting. France continues to lead the way in 
| Europe, with 67 per cent already using open source, followed by Germany at 
| 60.6 per cent and the UK trailing at 42 per cent. Attitudes to open source 
| adoption repeat the pattern with those who feel benefits outweigh other 
| issues coming in at 47 per cent in the UK, down from 54 per cent in 2008, 
| while in Germany, 62 per cent believed that to be true. Another problem for 
| the UK is that 22.4 per cent of the respondents in the UK say they are still 
| monitoring developments in open source, but have not yet begun evaluating it.

President Lula of Brazil receives ITU Award, Open Source Software cited
(updated)

,----[ Quote ]
| The open source revolution in South America has a very different flavor in 
| South America that in does in North America, Europe, Japan, China, or 
| Australia for that matter. In those regions, open source is treated like just 
| another choice in the marketplace, as if the future matters not at all, only 
| the present. There are certainly plenty of verifiable examples of just how 
| much better open source can be than proprietary software today.
