| Ghana is one of those âemerging economiesâ
| that I sometimes discuss, with people
| trying desperately to get ahead and
| utilizing Free Software to get there.
|
| Ghana has more problems than just trying to
| decide whether they should use Free
| Software. The Internet backbone to their
| country (and surrounding countries) is
| inadequate for the number of people it
| serves, and the prices for the Internet is
| pretty daunting, so downloading a copy of
| any of the distributions is both expensive
| and slow.
|
| Fortunately I was able to get my friends at
| Red Hat to sponsor about 500 Fedora CDs for
| the conference and some university training
| that I did after the conference. That was
| the good news.

Libre Graphics Meeting 2010
,----[ Quote ]
| Already the fifth edition, Libre Graphics
| Meeting continues to grow and to become
| more relevant. The meeting was held in
| Brussels this year, in a great venue: De
| Pianofabriek. Exactly the right size, cosy,
| comfortable, engaging and located in a
| lively neighbourhood. While LGM was going
| on, parts of this cultural centre were used
| by kung-fu, folk dancing and classical
| music classes. There was some good eco beer
| to be had in the canteen as well.
