Talking FOSS at the UN

,----[ Quote ]
| Weesner says that despite the fact that speakers like Stallman and Cooper 
| were well-received last year, "This year [the delegates] expressed a wish to 
| hear more from real-world users instead of the technologists and advocates. 
| This year's agenda does not include open source software developers, apart 
| from Chris DiBona, who will be representing the Google case." Other 
| unconfirmed guest speakers include Virgin America, SchoolNet Namibia, and 
| Banco do Brasil.

Editor's Corner (on Open Source in Healthcare)

,----[ Quote ]
| Suggesting that a private healthcare provider switch from
| proprietary software to open source-based applications is one
| thing. But when an official affiliated with as august a body as
| the United Nations suggests that all member countries adopt open
| source for their healthcare applications, that's a much bigger deal.
