Open Source slow to roll out around the world
A new study shows that Open Source initiatives by governments around the world have failed to roll out in force. The Center for Strategic & International Studies released a preliminary report indicating that such initiatives neither ban proprietary software nor endorse Open Source solutions.
In related news, Software Freedom Day was just celebrated on August 28th. The international event had events scheduled in countries all over the world, including Bangladesh, India, Malaysia and New Zealand. The event was also promoted by The United Nations' International Open Source Network, a center for excellence for Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in the Asia-Pacific Region.
