EU Supports FLOSS at Robert Pogson

To save hundreds of $millions per annum, the EU supports FLOSS:

Seventh Framework R&D on IT
- e.g. Open Nebula cloud system

Preparing guidelines to ensure EU gets the most bang for the buck in IT

EU institutions plan to use a CKAN portal run on FLOSS for open data. Other countries also use this or are considering it.

Way to go, EU. It’s looking as if EU is not waiting for others to get their act together. They are actively seeking to create and share great IT for the 21^st century.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
