Researching Open Source

Posted by Hemos on from the learning-what's-best dept.

philippInAfrica writes "bridges.org just released the software comparison study that looks at free/open source software and proprietary software in community computer labs in Africa. The announcement is on bridges, or you can download the full report in PDF form. To our knowledge, this is the largest field study of its kind in developing countries - we visited 121 computer labs in Namibia, Uganda and South Africa - and we are making all data available to other researchers. Feedback from the international ./ community would be great."

      Considering I'm the ONLY person around here that counts.. My interest should be a concern of yours.
