A sound proposal
Hi Ferran,
Thanks for the invite, this is a very thoughtful proposal. I also briefly reviewed the O4B.org site, it appears a lot clarity and structure have been defined since my last visit, great progress, much appreciated! I believe together we can make a difference to the current FOSS market by applying some structured force to it, we should also combine it with education and standards to increase the awareness, skill sets and interoperability among different FOSS products to help the adoptions and availability of ICT solutions to in developing countries, we have been actively looking at those aspects in the iFOSSF already.
I encourage others to share their thoughts on your proposal as well.
Best Regards,
Jenny
