I think most Kenyans are firmly in the camp of free, though I believe a notable exception is a Kenyan who I believe worked on the installer for FreeBSD somewhere on this list. This link http://www.betanews.com/article/Red-Hat-France-is-the-most-active-open-sourc... volumes. Most of us (self included) will have no problem making use of OSS, but releasing it is another story altogether. Given that there are so many developers here, is there *anyone *here who releases their software under an OSS license? On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 10:49 AM, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:
Monday morning buzz. From a programming point of view, does Open source mean freeware? As an example, I googled ubuntu to see if any kenyan is developing apps or " ports " for this and have been unable to get any info. How many times has this list been queried about a simple PPP dailer function for eg Ubuntu, yet I've not read anywhere if someone has written and " ported " a script or a " kenyan PPP dialer using local avaliable modems technology " ?
I understand the typical scenario of php and mysql which really is an end use but what about improving the OS functionality itself?
Shida ni nini?
Pls correct as necessary. :-)
Asante.
