South Africa: Open Source
May 17th, 2006 by ncho
open source software is linked to job creation in South Africa…..
SOUTH African companies are being urged to adopt open source software so they can not only cut their running costs but also contribute to job creation and boost the national economy.
Software veteran Jon “Mad Dog” Hall is in SA this week, telling companies that helping themselves will also help the country.
“My main message is about jobs in SA,” Hall said at the LinuxWorld conference in Johannesburg. “Last year, R3bn left SA in software royalties. Open source creates an opportunity to move a lot of that money back into SA by employing people to develop software tailored to meet the needs of the industry.”
Open source advocates usually focused on the benefits of being able to adapt the software to meet a user’s individual needs. “We haven’t really emphasised the effect on jobs before,” Hall said.
