Dear Colleagues, In the run-up to the WSIS-Tunis, Development Informatics Group at the University of Manchester will be releasing a series of "eDevelopment Briefings".
These are very short (one-two page) overviews of current evidence and thinking on key issues related to ICTs and socio- economic development. Our first eDevelopment Briefing - "Free and Open Source Software: A Blind Alley for Developing Countries?" - is available at: http://www.manchester.ac.uk/idpm/dig/briefings.htm It reviews recent experiences and the likely future trajectory for FOSS in development.
