Essay: Perspectives of African FOSS developers
philipp_at_bridges_dot_org writes "Bridges.org has just released an essay about FOSS issues in Africa, Straight from the Source: Perspectives from the African Free and Open Source Software Movement. It highlights a perspective that is often overlooked in the discussion of how FOSS can benefit developing countries: that of software developers themselves. The essay describes the conditions African FOSS developers work in and the difficulties they face, mostly letting quotes and personal impressions speak for themselves. The issues are very different from what I am reading in the typical slashdot discussions. It maybe an interesting perspective for your audience to see what others, who share the believe in freedom of source code are struggling with - hopefully to encourage thinking around solutions for these problems."
I was always told it was the navy that was gay but now it turns out it was actually the army that was gay!
That whole "no gays in the army" stuff was just a cover!
First you find out the church is just a big pedophile ring then you find out the army is into having big S&M parties in jails!
How come the most manly anti-gay types are actually the biggest homos in the end?
That kind of thinking in Iraq will get you stripped naked and forced to sucka doodz weener if Haliburton catches you talking about using OSS instead of MS.
Are we talking about the same Slashdot here?
You are just another whore wishes you had a subscription so you could be a bigger whore, you just lost out on this one. go home, and do yourself.
Homophobe.
I don't have anything against people in the Military, after all there is nothing wrong with being gay!
Still it's mean to force someone to suck a doodz weener when they aren't in the mood! Generally when you've been chained to a wall naked for three days you just aren't in the mood to give head!
"So Mr. Clik-Clik-Dirk, we understand you're working on some open source software... Care to comment on that?"
suRe that by the

Wrong. There are clubs dedicated to this very thing. If you weren't such a homophobe, you'd know that.
don't be pissed because the degree-less John Carmack is riding around in Ferraris and you're writing PHP code and begging your boss not to make you train Sirajul for your job.
Since when did we give niggers access to computers? And what, they can actually program them, too? I think we need to fly over there and teach those niggers a lesson.
You are correct.
But see, that doesn't apply to PCers. They feel like it makes them look cool to champion all kinds of horrible stuff because they are so much holier than the rest of us.
If you're white, then get out while you still can. You know the kaffirs are ruining the country and eventually SA will be another Zimbabwe. Let the kaffirs rot in their own filth.
First I will hack into your 3.0 Ghz 1GB RAM Windows 2003 pc running on a 1.5MB DSL line, INSTALL VIRII ,then kill you, bring your remains back to Africa and watch the vultures go to work.
