Taiwan to Start National Push For Free Software
Posted by admin on Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 07:18 PM
GNU / GPL admin writes "Taiwan will start a national plan to jump-start the development and use of Free Software, according to a report by the Central News Agency, the government news agency of Taiwan. Due to high Microsoft license fees and also to improve the levels of software technology in Taiwan, this plan includes the creation of a totally Chinese free software environment for Taiwan users, free software application development, and training of 120,000 people for free software skills, as well as efforts at schools to provide diverse information technology environments to ensure the freedom of information. Credits for that story go to Andy Tai [slashdot].
The original report can be found here [in Chinese].
An English summary of the original report can be found here. That's yet another country converted. Governments can't ingore free software for much longer..."
