UK shakes dust off open source policy
,----[ Quote ]
| If it looked like UK open source policy, just recently exhumed,
| had already been swept back under the same carpet it has been kept
| under since it was first launched two and a half years ago, the announcement
| yesterday that Liam Maxwell had acquired responsibility for it with a Cabinet
| Office portfolio did surprisingly little to improve its mien.
|
| It is then just as well Cabinet Office is about to announce long-overdue progress
| in its cause of creating a level-playing field for open source software. Because
| the new appointment will need all the help he can get.

| Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning âhumanity to others,'
| informs www.ubuntu.com. The word also means âI am what I am because
| of who we all are', adds the site.
|
| âThe vision for Ubuntu is part social and part economic: free software,
| available free of charge to everybody on the same terms, and funded through
| a portfolio of services provided by Canonical.â
|
| It was, therefore, a pleasant meeting that I recently had with Prakash Advani,
| Regional Manager - Asia Pacific, Canonical, Mumbai (http://bit.ly/F4TAdvaniP). âI have been using
| the latest Ubuntu 11.04 on a laptop that's almost three years now and I don't see any
| degradation of performance,â says Prakash. âIt performs the same that it used to three
| years back when I installed Ubuntu 9.10. After that we released three more versions and
| they have all worked beautifully on the same hardware.â Our conversation continues over email.
