LoCo Stories: the Asturian team drives the Asturian Language Academy migration to Ubuntu

,----[ Quote ]
| Spain has a rich language diversity. While the 
| main official language is Spanish, there are 
| several regions in which it coexists with 
| others with the same or similar degrees of 
| official recognition. These are Basque, spoken 
| in the Basque Country; Catalan, spoken in 
| Catalonia, the Valencian Community and the 
| Balearic Islands; and Galician, spoken in 
| Galicia.
| 
| Asturian is yet another language spoken in 
| the region of Asturies, in the North of Spain, 
| and it is special in the sense that it does 
| not enjoy official status but there is a 
| regional law that contemplates its promotion 
| and protection. However, this still means that 
| there are no public or private initiatives to 
| make it available in IT and the newer 
| technologies.

Mindshare

,----[ Quote ]
| Now that the hype over â7â is declining, I 
| expect GNU/Linux to continue rapid growth 
| in share. Here, as far as I know, last year 
| there was only one server loaded with 
| GNU/Linux, sitting on a shelf. This year 
| there are 40 PCs and servers running 
| GNU/Linux and by next year, everyone in the 
| community will know something about 
| GNU/Linux. We could add another 20 
| GNU/Linux PCs from Computers for Schools, 
| and with luck, a bunch of thin clients if 
| the budget comes through (expected this 
| month). There might be only 1% share for 
| that other OS in the school by the end of 
| next year.

| As I wrote last week, Android's USP is openness. Although that means open to
| everyone, there is arguably an advantage to open source coding on the Android
| platform. For a start, the methodology that Android employs will be totally
| familiar, as will the idea of building on pre-existing code.
