Open Source Should Be Open To All

,----[ Quote ]
| Often the way is baby steps. If today you can convince someone 
| to use some Open-Source software package â a document creator, 
| a presentation tool, a web browser, or even a web server â you 
| give yourself the wedge to start pushing for an Open Source 
| operating system.

Dreaming Again with One Laptop Per Child

,----[ Quote ]
| Predicting that a dream will vanish is cheap, getting 
| consideration for what replaced the dream is priceless. OLPC is 
| changing the world in ways that where not predictable when the

| the errors and misunderstandings of UNdispatch's article.

Kenya Linux Group Challenges Procurement Policies

,----[ Quote ]
| After losing out on many software tenders to the government, the Linux
| Professional Association (LPA) will engage the Public Procurement Oversight
| Authority (PPOA) in Kenya over procurement rules, according to the
| association chairman.
|
| The association members have been locked out of government tenders because
| the requests for proposals are usually skewed toward Microsoft products,
| therefore locking out open-source software developed locally, says LPA
| Chairman Evans Ikua.
