FLOSS

Are you heading out to vote this morning? Have you thought about how each of the parties support open source? The Greens's IT policy explicitly states a number of policies about encouraging Open Source in Business, Government and Education.

It's hard to beat that! Further; The Greens use Drupal and CiviCRM heavily in both their public-facing and internal systems -- their actions match their words. Go Greens!

"El lunes 3 de noviembre, desde las 18hs. Richard Stallman, el padre del movimiento de Software Libre ofrecerá una conferencia en el Salón Auditorio del Anexo de la Honorable Cámara de Diputados de la Nación, Rivadavia 1865, Primer Subsuelo, Ciudad de Buenos Aires.

I was sent this link
http://guide.conecta.it/ which in turn links to 2 PDF documents produced by FLOSSMETRICs and OpenTTT (Both European Union commissioned bodies).

The first is the FLOSS Guide (2Mb) (cc) FLOSSMETRICS - which is an education paper on FLOSS. Which could give people ideas on how to market FLOSS in general. It even includes a section of FLOSS business models.
