| provide visitors to its 10 national radio

| show, football match commentary on Radio 5
| Live or the latest comedy on Radio 4.

| The reason his organisation usually
| focuses on open source software is because
| it is licensed in a way which allows for
| the language of its interface to be
| changed easily. The opposite of open
| source software is proprietary software,
| where the company that develops it forbids
| you to change it.

Best Free and Open Source CRM Software
,----[ Quote ]
| Best Free and Open Source CRM Software:
| Customer relationship management (CRM) is
| a business strategy for managing and
| understanding clients and sales prospects
| to help enhance customer satisfaction and
| thus increase profit and reduce
| operational costs. CRM software is needed
| to collect the correct information about a
| company's customers and arrange that
| information for proper analysis and
| action. It is a tool for organizing,
| automating, and synchronize business
| processes for sales activities, marketing,
| customer service, and technical support.
| The information gathered by a CMS software
| needs to be kept up-to-date, accessible to
| employees, and provide the knowledge for
| employees to convert that data into
| products better matched to customers'
| needs.

Open source marks a new era for African independence
,----[ Quote ]
| This year marks the 50th anniversary of 17
| African states gaining independence.
|
| Now, a wave of homegrown programmers,
| developers and software makers claim to be
| heralding a new era of African
| independence.
|
| Earlier this month, the Idlelo conference,
| organised by the Free Software and Open
| Source Foundation for Africa (FOSSFA),
| brought together the continent's cleverest
| coding minds at Accra, in Ghana, to discuss
| new software opportunities in Africa.
|
| Unlike the bigger, foreign developers - who
| have mainly targeted the urban markets -
| the coders at this event looked at how to
| reach the rural, relatively poorer
| communities of Africa.
