In a keynote, the President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam
once said,
"The most unfortunate thing is that India still seems to believe in
proprietary solutions. In India, open source code software will have to
come and stay in a big way for the benefit of our billion people." Open source is not just a technology issue anymore, and has quickly turned into a humanitarian issue. With the future of our billion plus people depending on the way they learn and identify with information technology, open source can play a pivotal role. Our leaders in the seat of authority understand this fact and that's the reason why everyone, right from our President to our Minister of IT, endorses open source.(Not Uganda) http://www.redhat.com/magazine/015jan06/features/tapia/ PS <<I sometimes wish I was in India I recently got for my book-shelf this Hacking Linux Exposed at $10 from same source as compared elsewhere!!.By the way get an Indian buddy if u r in our field and life will be so smooth for you :-) >> Yos Ronny -- ******************************************************************* PGP Fingerprint: 6695 794A B84E D922 88FB 73CC 6CBD 8036 B3CD 7304 We can't become what we need to be by remaining what we are ******************************************************************* |
