- reinhardt 15y agoReally? That's odd given that open source has been traditionally more successful in the server market than in the desktop one.
- elviejo 15y ago[citation needed] On this past month I went to a couple of conferences where they showed how they build their infraestructure and their software as a service. And seems that their commitment to software public is very real from the highest level of goverment. President Lula DaSilva was mentioned several times.
- rlander 15y agoFor 6 yers I worked as a network engineer for Cisco, primarily with the government and Serpro (Federal Data Processing Service), the biggest IT service provider in Brazil. I can tell you from first-hand experience that there's no server/networking open source focus there.
