Hello everybody
My name is Joćo
Martins and I am a post-graduated student in Communication (MA),
finishing a
thesis about the social dynamics of Gnutella development. Now, I am working in
a project for a doctorate in social sciences. My intent is to investigate the
brasilian government investiments in Open Source. This scene, in my country,
is becoming every day more clear to me, but I can't say the same thing about
the internacional context of government aid in OS projects. My question is:
did anybody here knows about any article related to that relantionship in any
country?
Best regards
PS - Just to
ilustrate this context in Brasil (f anyone becames curious...): recetlly, the
brasilian congress starts a considerable investiment with the intention of
stimulate the use of free software by a lot of public organs. The actions
includes an investimet of R$ 6.3 milions (almost US$ 2 milions) in projects
related to the concept of Free Software, besides the creation of a
parliamentarian group related to the free software, during an event called
"Free Software Week in the Legislative".
Did anyone
knows about something like this in any other country?
