IEC Open Source Mela

Prof. Andrew Lynn on open source

Tuesday Mar 25, 2008

Prof. Andrew Lynn of JNU, a very active crusader of open source will be in IEC to talk about "Why is open source important?".

As per Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz, "No amount of fear can stop the rise of free media, or free software (they are the same, after all). The community is vastly more innovative and powerful than a single company. And you will never turn back the clock on elementary school students and developing economies and aid agencies and fledgling universities - or the Fortune 500 - that have found value in the wisdom of the open source community. Open standards and open source software are literally changing the face of the planet - creating opportunity wherever the network can reach."
