In Africa and other parts of the “developing” world some have recognised the importance of free/libre and open source software in terms of cost and (more importantly) empowerment - i.e. rather than being passive consumers of highly restrictive software, being able to adapt and develop the software further and offer services to make a living (e.g. distribution, training, support, configuration and customisation, software development, etc.).

    There is a project starting up which may be of interest to readers, and we invite participation: http://wikieducator.org/FLOSSBusiness

    I have started by including a link to this blog posting on one of the Curriculum pages.

    Thanks! :-)
