Indonesian Government Urged to Move to Open Source Software

,----[ Quote ]
| Minister of Communication and Information 
| Technology Tifatul Sembiring said open source 
| software offered unlimited opportunities for

| reduce government spending on software, without

Indonesian openSUSE Event : Zimbra Community Training

,----[ Quote ]
| The training itself dedicated for openSUSE promotional event for server side.
| Beside my activity as Indonesian openSUSE member, I also become a founder for
| Indonesian Zimbra Community. I think it would be a good idea to make openSUSE
| as primary choice, both for desktop and server application. Zimbra has itâs
| own benefit. The combination between itâs feature and price (priceless for
| open source edition) making Zimbra as an attractive option for mail server.
