I'm going to have a trip to Slovenia from Wednesday to Friday, in
order to fulfill the workshop "F/OSS in national programs" organized by
tOSSad. Luckily, OOoCon2005 is held in Koper, just 130km away from the hotel at the same time. You may check out the delicious programme of OOoCon2005 here. Feeling lucky to attend both meetings, by the way. ;-)

Peru hassed its law in favor of F/OSS |
|
Tuesday, 27 September 2005 |
|
Peru has passed its law
encouraging procurement of Free Software by the government. Please note
that the law is about Free Software, not Open Source, as opposed to
proprietary software, distinguished by license. Here's an English translation published by the Asociación Peruana de Software Libre, and here is the law itself [PDF]
. Technically, it's not official until it is published in the official
Peruvian daily newspaper, but that is pretty much certain at this point
(from Groklaw.net ). |

Ferruh Baysu from Bilgi Publishing has sent me a copy
of the book "Just for Fun" - Yalnizca Eglenmek icin, written by Linus
Torvalds and David Diamond. The book has a very straightforward
language, translated by Cihat Tascioglu. The translator's note
scattered here and there inside the book gives a pleasant taste, too.
Interestingly, I had to look up in the Turkish dictionary reading some
of his words. I'm thankful to the publishers of this book, especially
the CEO of Bilgi Yayinevi Bilgi Kuflu, who has dictated in his letter
that open source software in general and F/OSS ecosystem in particular
is crucial for our country. |
