New year, new life.
This is usually said every January 1 outlined in good intentions, often forgotten the next day. As for this
About the blog is to continue on this path that I see to be appreciated, trying to be ever present to offer ideas and alternatives to free the computer world.
For this first post of 2011, here is a story that actually dates back to 2010, but you know how ... Holidays are holidays.
The news is interesting because regardless of the character and possible hidden motives, it seems that Vladimir Putin, even today hailed the Tsar of Russia, with an amendment consisting of 25 points, has decided to embrace the free software, aside Microsoft solutions .
The migration will begin in the second quarter of 2012 to complete in 2015, a period after which the entire machinery of the government sector will be based exclusively on free software.
course, the plan provides that adopt this solution even companies that have partnered with the Russian government, on pain of revocation of contracts.
This objective is also provided for the creation of a single repository from which Soviet institutions can tap into new applications and tools to carry out their daily activities through the use of computers provided by the Government. In this context could be GNU / Linux to raise its voice, serving as a main solution for the Russian computer industry.
Here the English translation of the 25 points in the subject.
The whole scenario is that of a real reform of the sector, with news that will also cover the civil sector through training of professionals in the field of ICT and the introduction of new solutions to the world of education.
The second objective is to combat piracy.
Surely there are other hidden motives, however, that could turn into speculation.
The shift to the open source stands as the horizon in a nation where the Business Software Alliance (BSA) estimates (the survey relates to 2009) are copied and installed illegally about 67% of commercial software. At the top of the standings are Georgia (95%), Zimbabwe (92%) and Bangladesh (91%). In terms of market value applications "pirated", the U.S. ranked first, followed by China, Russia and France. The United States is, however, is a leader in the ranking of the countries most "righteous" (20% of software used in the whole country would be "pirated") followed by Japan (21%) and Luxembourg (21%). According to BSA, a software nearly two in Italy is still pirated (49%).
Happy New Year to all!
