Es parte del ecosistema de mercado libre y software libre que elabora
Mark. Grafiquémoslo:
"The project was started as one solution to overcome the difficulty of
obtaining Linux and other free and open-source software in South
Africa, where the restrictive telecommunications environment makes
downloading large software files prohibitively expensive."

"tuXlabs

The Shuttleworth Foundation's tuXlab project was initiated in-house in
2002 with the purpose of establishing eighty open source
software-based computer labs in schools in the Western Cape. Since
then the project has expanded to a point where they have successfully
installed more than 130 labs in 3 provinces and have now spun out into
a sustainable company, Inkulueko technologies.

The primary objective of the tuXlab project is to create an innovative
and replicable model for establishing cost-effective computing labs
that can be utilised as a medium for delivering educational curriculum
to the learners.

The project also seeks to develop a robust and sustainable open source
volunteer community which will not only be able to service the
existing tuXlab installations and provide momentum for new
installations, but will also serve to broaden and deepen the open
source software skills pool in the region. It is their hope that the
volunteer group will one day be empowered enough to assume full
control of the day-to-day running of the project.

The tuXlab project uses the skills and manpower of the Schools Linux
User Group (SLUG) to install their tuXlabs. SLUG is a group of
volunteers and was founded by Léhane Boonzaaier, Chandré de Wet,
Gerald Webber and Wesley Breytenbach in order to facilitate the
implementation of the tuXlab project."

"The Western Cape is a province in the south west of South Africa. The
capital is Cape Town. Prior to 1994, the region that now forms the
Western Cape was part of the much larger (and now defunct) Cape
Province. Prior to the formation of the Union of South Africa in 1910,
it was called the Cape Colony (see the History of Cape Colony)."

De un modo similar a Evita en Argentina con respecto a la educación y
el conocimiento en general, Ubuntu lleva el software de código abierto
a los barrios de su país africano. Sigo sin comprender cómo una lista
de e-mail como SOLAR general con tanta gente inteligente y progresista
de pronto se encuentra a la derecha de la derecha expulsando y
discriminando los proyectos positivos que ayudan al avance de nuestra
sociedad. Será que ya viven en el comunismo real avanzado y superado?
Desde dónde escriben sus e-mails, desde el país de la utopía?

El mundo está construido en barro y debemos mancharnos con él para
hacer de la inerte tierra una bella escultura que sea la envidia de
todos los dioses.

Con todo respeto.
