Ukraine to Create is Own GNU/Linux Distro
I've been writing for a while about Russia's on-off idea of creating its own GNU/Linux distro. It looks like Ukraine is following suit. Via Google Translate:
its purpose is to optimize the expenditure of budgetary funds and the solution using unlicensed software in state bodies.
According to estimates from officials, the savings of switching apparatus to free software can be 87%.
Among the expected outcomes of the program - improving the legal framework of research on creation and use of open software infrastructure for its development, creation and dissemination, and coordination of state infrastructure using open source software in the bodies derzhvlady, a basic set of localized distribution, adapted to the needs of public authorities.
Let's hope it doesn't get so bogged down as the Russian one.
