Pero ahora, ¿de donde sacaste que Ubuntu dá trabajo a programadores africanos?
esa gente es empleada de canonical?
o es un grupo de voluntarios
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." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Toaster "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. -- Lo saluda atentamente Domingo Palo http://domingopalosj.wordpress.com
