Nicaragua Creates Innovative Agricultural Information System With Open Source
johanneswilm writes "Nicaragua is the second-poorest country of the Americas. It is now also the Latin American country with the most capable web-based information system for agriculture, thanks to open source software. ALBAstryde itself is open source, and it is based on Django and jQuery. It allows the user to play with the data, and its reach is further extended by a net of radio stations which are broadcasting the numbers to remote peasants, who thereby, for the first time ever, get up to date data on prices and general production levels in the country. The implementation for the ministry of agriculture of Nicaragua already contains live data."
Seems that if you are the elected leader of a Central or South American country, you'd better not do anything Socialist that, you know, might actually work better than the free market, or we will kill you and install a brutal military dictator who will slaughter your people for generations to come.
Ahh yes, another whiney commie demoncrat terrorist claiming to know about capitalism when you know absolutely nothing about it other than what your comrades have parroted. Let's see here, Socilist/communist nations include the USSR, China, North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, etc. All of which support you demoncrats. The only thing you demoncrats apparently do beyond that is committ treason by giving aid and comfort to your American-hating friends, the terrorists.
It would be an interesting exercise to check out the U.S. systems and review how they could be improved.
Burn down all Fast Food chains, that should do it.
