Since you're talking about programming, the problem IMHO is not specific to F/OSS but to programming in general. Fresh graduates are tool-oriented, taught in VB or some specific technology of Java, and are not capable of analytical thought. For veterans, due to economic concerns (which we've discussed here in PLUG), Pinoys with the skills don't have the spare time to hack on fun stuff like Python/QT, even if it may become productive in the future. Or, if they do have some free time like myself, their interests vary. (I know some Python but don't care about QT since I don't like GUI programming.) I had a blog post about this a few days back: http://paraz.com/107/making-fresh-software-developers-productive/ _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
