Pakistan has a government initiative to support and promote the use of open source tools — an “Open Source Resource Center” program, supported by the Pakistan Software Expert Board. Â 13 of their students recently became Red Hat-certified technicians and engineers, and they have helped work on Sugar and related localizations.
They are running a small PR campaign to celebrate their work — representing Pakistan’s open source community at international events, and training over 8000 people who have come to a center for help or study. Â Â Kudos to the OSRC teams – I expect we will hear more from them soon!
