[red1]

Better bitch about our own country then pitch for the world. :) The world is taking notice of us > http://www.opensource.org/node/489 Open Source Progress in Malaysia Thu, 2009-11-05 07:57 — Michael Tiemann Here are some stunning facts that were published at the end of July in Malaysia: More than 70 percent of Malaysian government offices are running open source software, according to figures released by the country's Open Source Competency Centre. The centre was established as part of the 2004 Malaysian Public Sector OSS Master Plan, to guide and co-ordinate the implementation of OSS in the public sector. The latest OSS adoption figures, released on 24 July, show that 521 of the country's 724 public sector agencies (72 per cent) have adopted OSS. This is a significant increase from 354 agencies (49 percent) in 2008 and 163 (22.5 per cent) in 2007. Malaysia is certainly raising the bar in terms of open source adoption and leadership!
