Spent a good portion of the morning at VI, our little “adopted” school. Watched some of the teaching being done, I’m proud one of my “students” is now teaching school children OpenOffice.org; but I’ve found errors in the way teaching is performed. This being the first time I’ve sat in a class in a public school, I was a little shocked at the redundancy and time wastage – I’m sure we’ll overcome this soon.<\/p>\n
Reading on why the Internode Mirror switched from FreeBSD to Linux<\/a> are are just marginally happy, makes me think (in fact, it should make all you OSS proponents think hard). These people even have Greg Lehey<\/a> to help (when they were FreeBSD’ing). How do we address what the commercial market needs? How are we convincing hardware manufacturers that stuff needs to be supported? Can you run a business on open source software<\/a>?<\/p>\n Russell Jones cruft on Open Source being Fertile Ground for Foul Play<\/a> is complete FUD. Surely some nasty bastard will insert code for that open source taxation software and not<\/b> share it<\/i>. <\/p>\n On other notes, XP-Lite<\/a> is Redmond’s new offering to compete in Asia. If Thailand told them to go away, I hope the rest of Asia’s just as clueful. Munich’s migration<\/a> not going as planned? I’m sure the bugs will get ironed out, as it serves as a great test case for other governments; like the French government<\/a> with Project ADELE.<\/p>\n From an OpenOffice.org solution standpoint, why is IBM eyeing Office for Linux?<\/a> Nasty digs at Sun with being “too small”, and Lotus Notes making an apperance on the Linux desktop. With the Mac OS X port still being finalised, Evermore Integrated Office<\/a> seems to have sprung up, at a cost, from a Chinese company. They think the Mac OS market will look towards them; they’re right, we really need to make a release soon. But their idea of an integrated “word processor, spreadsheet and presentation software” all in one package screams OpenOffice.org to me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spent a good portion of the morning at VI, our little “adopted” school.
