Freie Software in Indien, China, Lateinamerika & Afrika Saturday, 12 June 2004, 17:00, Track 2 When governments like those of Brazil, China, India, and South Africa announce that they will embrace free software, it makes one hope for a great future of the Software Commons. But what is the state of the free software cultures in these regions actually like? What is its impact on skill building and on the market? What role do organizations like the Free Software and Open Source Foundation for Africa (FOSSFA), the Argentinian Vía Libre Foundation, Linux Bangalore or the FSF China play? How is free software encouraging international cooperation among Latin American, African, and Asian countries? How does it allow countries to bypass technology lock-in that weighs against change in the mis-developed world? Does it allow them to leap-frog development stages, letting them do it right from the very beginning? Four key players in their regions will be giving insights into worlds largely unknown in the north. They will sketch the landscape of free software from the grass-roots and academic branches via business to government.
