Free and Open Source Software Feature on VTV (Vietnam)
,----[ Quote ]
| I mentioned over a month ago that VTV visited
| my Linux Lab. A couple weeks ago they aired
| the 10 minute segment on VTV. I know several
| of the guys featured on the program including
| An Nguyen of SaigonLUG and Professor Son from
| the University of Education. The open
| source community is starting to grow in
| Saigon but it still has 5-10 years to mature.
| It is definitely more active then 5 years ago
| which is very positive.
