The UN's International Open Source Network (IOSN) helped promote the first annual Software Freedom Day on 28 August, giving out CDs and booklets about the technology. Events took place in countries like India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Open source is free and can offer big opportunities for developing countries. The initiative was organised by free and open source software advocates under the umbrella of the Software Freedom Day............. --------------------------------------------- This service is hosted on the Infocom network http://www.infocom.co.ug
