As somebody says in a commentary related to Romanian mass-media and its (still) lack of interest in Open Source and Free Software, “Something is in the air.”

The things started to move in Romania.

Here is an interesting event on its third edition already; Geek Meet is going to take place at Oradea on the 16th December 2006.
Even tough this event is not coming to the same path as FLOSS , it deserve all the consideration and attention. Geek Meet is trying to create a community and to discuss hot subjects related to the web. For more information, you can check their website.

eLiberatica will be presented at Geek Meet by courtesy of Filip , the enthusiast who initiated and is coordinating this event.

Thank you Filip and good luck!

Dupa interesantul articol publicat de Dragos Manac (“De Linux si OSS in Catavencu“) descopar un alt post interesant, de data aceasta semnat de Tudor Chirtoaca.
Dar ma inainte de toate, felicitari pentru blog Tudor!

Ma bucur ca lumea din media romana incepe sa sesizeze fenomenul Open Source si Free Software.
Citind articolul lui Tudor despre LOAD, ma intrebam de ce mass-media din tara acorda atat de putina importanta unor evenimente de agest gen. Doar nu e vorba de guvern aici. Imi pot explica de ce guvernul nu este interesat de fenomen – desi ar trebui sa fie – dar nu-mi pot explica de ce majoritatea celor deschisi la minte si la nou din mass-media nu baga in seama lucrurile care se intapla in lumea larga.
Bulgarii sunt inaintea noastra cu doua conferinte de renume, WebTech si OpenFest, Croatia adopta o politica activa pro Open Source, alte tari din Europa de West acorda cea mai mare importanta acestui aspect, dar la noi in tara, nimic…
Nu ca as avea ceva cu cineva, dar nu pot sa nu ma intreb: este Romania la mana Microsoftului si a marilor corporatii ce produc soft proprietar? Sau pur si simplu romanii nu sunt interesati in a salva bani si a deveni independenti in privinta solutiilor adoptate in software. Intrebarea isi afla raspunsul de la sine, cred.
