On the merits of open source software
,----[ Quote ]
| With the advent of Linux for netbooks and
| companies exploring means to cut costs, use of
| open source software is on the rise. The next
| time you need Microsoft Office and go to
| download an illegal copy of it, why not check
| out OpenOffice.org for a free equivalent.
| Youâre guaranteed not to get a virus, not to
| get arrested, and you will probably be
| surprised when you see how good legitimately
| free software can be.

Open Source Can Help India Save Rs 10,000 crore, Says IIM-B Study
,----[ Quote ]
| Even as the current economic climate has
| compelled the Indian government to go on the
| austerity drive, by asking its ministers to
| air travel by economy classâa more compelling
| option may lie in looking at replacing
| proprietary software with open source. A
| recent report titled, 'Economic Impact of Free
| and Open Source software-A Study in India', by
| a team at IIM-Bangalore, highlights several
| interesting insights, that show how by
| replacing just 50 percent of proprietary
| software with open source in desktops and
| servers, India can save close to Rs 10,000
| crore in 2010.

Newspapers Going Online-Only Should Look at FOSS Content Management
,----[ Quote ]
| Nobody at OStatic has ever needed outside support for Drupal, which we run
| on, and many other sites, such as Fast Company and The Onion, do fine with
| Drupal. (We've provided many free Drupal resources here.) It's hardly the
| only open source content management choice, though. For newspapers and other
| people considering an open source content management platform, OpenSourceCMS
| remains an excellent way to take the reins of several different free CMS
| systems. The site allows you to try Drupal, Joomla, WordPress and many other
| platforms, and you can spend hours functioning as site administrator,
| watching video tutorials and more. I expect to see a lot of newspapers moving
| to these platforms in the coming years, as they make more and more economic
| and publishing sense.
