Venezuela's Government Shifts to Open Source Software

[Victor Odhner]

A second domino falls, apparently before the first.

Note that Dr. Edgar David Villanueva Nuņez is in Peru, not
Venezuela.  I didn't even hear about the Venezuela thing before.
Over in Peru, apparently Dr. Villanueva's bill, and an alternative
bill that he has also signed, are in committee and are making
progress.

I continue to wonder what the big proprietary software companies
will be doing in ten years.  I'm trusting that they will find
(or in many cases, *continue* to find) constructive ways to work
alongside open source and Free software.
