Group, it appears that it may have been in reaction to the [1]UN's
sponsorship of the 1st annual [2]Software Freedom Day in which its
International Open Source Network (IOSN) will educate Asian users on the
benefits of Free and Open source Software (FOSS). FOSS promotes several
high-profile applications including OpenOffice, Mozilla, MySQL, and
Apache." An anonymous reader says of the U.N. effort, "Events will be
organised in Bangladesh, Brunei, India, Malaysia, New Zealand,
Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam on Saturday, August 28th." According
to another anonymous reader, "[3]Go Open Source, funded by the
[4]Shuttleworth Foundation and HP, expects up to 10,000 visitors at the
various Linux install-fests around South Africa this Saturday, [5]says
the Mail & Guardian."
