,----[ Quote ]
| FOSSFAâs advocacy programme has seen
| unprecedented success in the past year. The
| FOSSWAY project (FOSS Advocacy in West Africa
| and Beyond) saw enormous buy-in. It has
| launched open source clubs, a regional FOSS
| study, four university roadshows, its own
| publications, hands-on trainings for at least
| 1 000 people in the use and deployment of
| FOSS.

A pony for every child â the politics of open source software
,----[ Quote ]
| To wrap up, we have Danaâs Tea Party Manifesto,
| Simonâs OSI reform campaign platform, and
| Neelieâs opening statement in the great EC
| Digital Agenda debate. Looks like a really
| interesting time in open source politics with
| many opportunities to get involved and a lot of
| horse-trading possibilities.
