Linux Localization And E-governance

Posted by Hemos on from the using-it-in-the-best-way-possible dept.

BhondaiPola writes "The Telegraph has an interesting article about the works of a Bengali Linux localization group. The article speaks of the potential areas in which localization can be implemented, especially, E-governance. Most of the stuff is known to us, but the article should serve as a nice introductory article for anyone new to the issue. And I liked the screenshots of the localized GNOME in the website of the group."

    "Localized Gnome" would be a really good name for a band.

    Wait a minute... no it wouldn't.

    Cool, early (first?) post. This raises an interesting question. If a lot of foreign countries start using Linux in their government like this article suggests, will the US follow suit? Answering my own question...probably not. After all, isn't this a pretty accurate idea?

    I think we should put together a list of localized gnomes.


    There's some in my neighbor's yard.

    I'm worried; every day they seem to get a little closer, with their unblinking, hungry eyes...
