Hello. I am trying to find text or PDF formatted material that can contribute to my effort to promote free and open source software specifically under the various BSD platforms to world leaders. This is a project to gather all the best rhetorics, facts and figures, which will be compiled into somewhat of a masterplan released under the creative commons license for governments, universities and research agencies to later further once feasibility studies reveal their local conditions. It is my belief that open source technology, better known as free computing, can contribute to the growth of a nation by not only cutting costs, but also by involving its people in F/OSS development so that the nation can become more technology aware. Looking at it from this angle, all BSD systems would benefit dramatically. This is not an attempt to privatize open source advocacy. Although that might have been a good idea. I've tried to request this on regular user mailinglists, but I've been flamed rather extensively. No wonder really, I was looking at the wrong place. I've been told the advocacy lists would be more suitable. Common sense tell me I may be right. Time will tell if that is true. -- Fafa Hafiz Krantz Research Designer @ http://www.bleed.no --=20 ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
