Singapore holds string of open source events
,----[ Quote ]
| Harish Pillay, open source affairs manager at Red Hat, said in an e-mail
| interview with ZDNet Asia, there will also be an "install festival" that day,
| which is aimed at helping people install the Linux OS onto their machines.
|
| Pillay said open source events such as this are intended to bring a level of
| awareness of open source software to small and midsize enterprise (SME)
| attendees, which view technology as business tools to support their
| companies. "In general, SMEs are not focused on technology," he said.
