Italy to begin an open source competence centre
,----[ Quote ]
| Italian public administrations considering
| to use open source can turn to a competence

Open Source Software As Business Solution
,----[ Quote ]
| Soon after the campaign went down and from
| no time, the branded vehicles began to
| disappear one after another from Nigerian
| roads across the commercial nerve centre of
| the nation, Lagos. But one thing remained
| intact, the knowledge and awareness such a
| campaign has drawn to Open Source Software
| (OSS).
|
| For Nigerians, open source means various
| things to diverse individuals and
| organizations. A school of thought would
| not like to hear anything about open source
| software and yet for another, open source
| is where the future lies.
|
| And for the software engineers at a
| California-based Open Source Initiative
| (OSI) founded 12 years ago,
| www.opensource.org, the term 'Open Source'
| does not mean mere access to source codes,
| but must comply with some core 10
| distribution terms for OSS, including free
| redistribution, source code, derived works,
| integrity of the author's source code, no
| discrimination against persons or groups,
| no discrimination against fields of
| endeavour, distribution of license, non-
| limitation to specific product, restriction
| of other software and technology-
| neutrality.

More than 100 candidates to Italian regional elections support Free Software
,----[ Quote ]
| At least on paper, thanks to CaroCandidato,
| Free Software may have a voice this year in
| many of the regional councils assisting the
| governors. As of March 17th, the 2010
| edition of the campaign has already
| enlisted more than 100 candidates from all
| parties. Citizens visiting the website can
| easily find, sorted by party or electoral
| district, which regional candidates have
| signed the Pact for these elections.
