UN on Open Source

Uh oh, I guess the Americans will have something to say about this latest initiative from the United Nations.

The International Open Source Network (IOSN), which is part of the UN’s development programme, published the guide to free and open source software in education last week. The FOSS Education Primer explains the advantages of using open source software and gives information on server and desktop software that can be used in education.

Not a milestone exactly, but it does illustrate the chasm that we are facing. Just as the UN is active in using and supporting generic drugs in its various projects around the world. Despite the best efforts, by certain countries, to discredit the United Nations, they still stand their ground and uphold what is right and proper.
