Dear Friends
I had spend some time in studying the
UAE market for OpenSource , this study included
spending time with IT Managers and trying to know
what they think about open source
After carefully evaluating I had come
to the conclusion that,
1>
It will be initially difficult for OS to penetrate the
end user market, where each NON OpenSource Operating
System gives benefit ( in terms of gift and I am not
using the term BRIBE ) for the decision makers . So to
be free from the clutches of this It may take time
2> The study showed that 80 % of IT managers and
decision makes agree to the fact that OS is stable and
reliable, but they cannot agree that it is user
friendly
3> They are eager or willing to try the Linux for
mailing solution, Intranet server, and Fax services
After all this I had decided that I should try and
focus more on mailing solution and fax server
solution, Sendmail I am confident for doing,
[Thanks to Suresh for Linux India Mailing list for
clearing our doubts]
I am trying to work on exim, postfix, qmail, make a
comparison and try to write few �FAQ� and �Simple how
to do�
The monthly meeting which the new
LUG plans to have, we will try to invite companies
which gives solution on proprietary mailing solution,
and show them the benefit of using OS related
technology solutions
Thanks
Joseph John
Note:- I will be publishing the reports of my
market study , when I finish it fully
