At idlelo.uwc.ac.za last month RMS indicated that the developing world should not be blinded by outsourcing. Being paid less is not a long term benefit for the software developer community as a whole (The benefits will mainly go to big corporates anyway). Instead he said to focus on using FS to (re-)capture domestic markets. Localisation, and homegrown free software would be the way to go replacing/adapting inappropriate foreign closed software.
