Standards Blog points out, &amp;#8220;&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.consortiuminfo.org/standardsblog/article.php?story=20090108063546592&quot;&gt;Vietnam
 Starts New Year with Open Source (and ODF)&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Andy Updegrove analyzes this news in the context of the broader 
global movement toward open source in developing countries:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s hardly a surprise that Vietnam 
should make such an announcement. It has an increasingly sophisticated and 
growing IT industry, and like the governments of many other emerging nations, 
is interested in keeping IT budgets down while expanding IT services, as well 
as nurturing its own IT industry rather than shipping all of its IT budget 
dollars abroad. For nations throughout Asia and South America in particular, 
open source (and open standards compatible with open source) are becoming 
increasingly incorporated into enterprise infrastructure guidelines and 
procurement requirements.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The source article is published on VietNamNet as &amp;#8220;&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://english.vietnamnet.vn/tech/2009/01/822425/&quot;&gt;Vietnam 
to Widely Use Open Source Software&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The requirements are for government agencies, as part of an effort to 
modernize IT infrastructure and government operations while cutting unnecessary 
costs:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;By June 30, 2009, 100% of clients of IT divisions 
of government agencies must be installed with open source software; 100% of 
staffs at these IT divisions must be trained in the use of these software 
products and at least 50% use them proficiently&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Open source software products are OpenOffice, email software for 
servers of Mozilla Thunderbird, Mozilla Firefox web browser and the Vietnamese 
typing software Unikey.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The instruction also said that by December 31, 2009, 70% of clients 
of ministries&amp;#8217; agencies and local state agencies must be installed 
with the above open source software products and 70% of IT staff trained in 
using this software; and at least 40% able to use the software in their 
work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;While the timeframe is aggressive compared to many government open 
source deployments, it should be easy enough for a motivated organization to 
achieve.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

+       <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;ConsortiumInfo.org&amp;#8217;s Standards Blog 
points out, &amp;#8220;&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.consortiuminfo.org/standardsblog/article.php?story=20090108063546592&quot;&gt;Vietnam
 Starts New Year with Open Source (and ODF)&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Andy Updegrove analyzes this news in the context of the broader 
global movement toward open source in developing countries:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s hardly a surprise that Vietnam 
should make such an announcement. It has an increasingly sophisticated and 
growing IT industry, and like the governments of many other emerging nations, 
is interested in keeping IT budgets down while expanding IT services, as well 
as nurturing its own IT industry rather than shipping all of its IT budget 
dollars abroad. For nations throughout Asia and South America in particular, 
open source (and open standards compatible with open source) are becoming 
increasingly incorporated into enterprise infrastructure guidelines and 
procurement requirements.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The source article is published on VietNamNet as &amp;#8220;&lt;a 
href=&quot;http://english.vietnamnet.vn/tech/2009/01/822425/&quot;&gt;Vietnam 
to Widely Use Open Source Software&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The requirements are for government agencies, as part of an effort to 
modernize IT infrastructure and government operations while cutting unnecessary 
costs:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;By June 30, 2009, 100% of clients of IT divisions 
of government agencies must be installed with open source software; 100% of 
staffs at these IT divisions must be trained in the use of these software 
products and at least 50% use them proficiently&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Open source software products are OpenOffice, email software for 
servers of Mozilla Thunderbird, Mozilla Firefox web browser and the Vietnamese 
typing software Unikey.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The instruction also said that by December 31, 2009, 70% of clients 
of ministries&amp;#8217; agencies and local state agencies must be installed 
with the above open source software products and 70% of IT staff trained in 
using this software; and at least 40% able to use the software in their 
work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;While the timeframe is aggressive compared to many government open 
source deployments, it should be easy enough for a motivated organization to 
achieve.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
