Big boys going open-source to cut costs
,----[ Quote ]
| The wave of migration from propriety
| software to open-source applications is
| gaining momentum as big companies are
| jumping on the bandwagon to make cost
| efficiencies and avoid legal charges for
| piracy.
|
| The enthusiasm for "going open-source" was
| summed up at the 2009 Global Conference on
| Open Source held at the Shangri-La Hotel in
| Jakarta on Monday which was attended by
| hundreds of open-source users from across
| the globe.
|
| Indonesia's largest telecommunication
| company PT Telkom has studied the use of
| open-source software applications since
| 2005.

Free software poised to look proprietary ware in the eye
,----[ Quote ]
| Free and open source software (FOSS) may
| just be ready to shed its tag of being a
| poor cousin of proprietary software, as a
| range of users from classrooms to boardrooms
| are finding it a profitable option to
| expensive proprietary software.
|
| Users as diverse as government schools in
| Kerala to the Life Insurance Corporation,
| and private sector majors to NGOs have
| warmed up to the FOSS advantage.
| Significantly, not all of them have adopted
| FOSS merely on the cost advantage, but also
| for the pleasure of being different
