Linux Fund to support Africa Open Source initiatives
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux Fund and the Free Software and Open
| Source Foundation of Africa (FOSSFA) have
| signed an agreement to promote free and open-
| source software in Africa.
|
| Open-source software adoption is lopsided in
| Africa, where ISPs use it on the back-end,
| but it isn't used much on the desktop.
|
| "On the back-end, open source has succeeded.
| Most ISPs in Africa depend on open-source
| server software and management tools. At the
| desktop level, it has failed because the
| Linux desktop is still not quite as plug-and-
| play as it needs to be to facilitate uptake,"
| said Steve Song, telecommunications fellow at
| the Shuttleworth Foundation.
