On community and activities: In Sweden there are couple of LUGs, but non of them have een 10% of activities TehLUG have! On Migrated people: And about migrated people, it's quite intresting after they migrated, they commiting more code, Parsix GNU/Linux is not dead, it's publishing routinely. on Windows: And I don't know about whole world, but in Scandinavia, Windows rules. Most of the big companies using Windows due to partnership with HP/Dell/IBM. And IT consulting companies like Logica ATEA, Capgemini, they all suggesting Microsoft based solutions. So not using FOSS or Linux or FreeSoftwares for business, it's not dedicated to Iran. I have no practical statistics, but as far as I talk with different companies here in Scandinavia, there are many people who never used *NIX unless some point in the University. > Unfortunately, UNIX programmers are infrequent, Because request isn't > exist. > > One of more reason of using of win is lack of software law, patent law, > and so on.LUGs, universities, and UNIXers must advertis freesoftware > culture. Totaly agreed, but here even with software laws, business owners, choose windows, based on what I just mentioned about consultants. cheers Navid e-mail: [email protected] 340C 1068 A0F6 D702 FDD6 CFB6 8714 4F55 D3F9 1F7D GPG KEY: http://ur1.ca/7zb3v > --mohsen > On Fri, 2012-12-21 at 15:46 +0100, Bjarke Friborg wrote: >> Salaam everyone >> >> >> Thank you for your answers.
