Give A Welcome Message For Newborn Baby
Sofgüer Free: 2nd assault read last Thursday in The Nation on relaunching Alberto Salom makes the bill failed last administration by Rep. Laura Chinchilla for the state to adopt free software. But
What advantages would bring the country to introduce free software?
To not go far, I will mention only those that come to my head at this hour of the night:
1)
I do not know if you paid for the licenses of s oftware you are using. I assume so. Therefore also assume that prices paid for the lush that I mentioned in my post to
for a Windows license
and Office (the most common programs to work). So the first reason for adopting free software in the state is economic. If ministries, municipalities, autonomous institutions, universities, schools, embassies, from the humblest clerk to the most senior official, for every computer we save up to $ 600
... Let numbers! Costa Rica does not need to spend those billions to pure noise.
2)
operating systems based on GNU / Linux are highly efficient. You do not need to throw away your jar for a faster each time you upgrade to a newer version. We have come to this for a long time but it shows what the interest $.
3) Because the free sofgüer respects the standards, if a program is used to make documents and the time goes out a better program, you can start using another program to work the same documents you have already. If a program requires us to keep the documents in a restricted format, we can not use other programs, do not you think you're losing your right to choose or change the product that best suits you? In other words, we have free sofgüer technological independence. 4) Since the free sofgüer
can be studied, modified and distributed, imagine how useful it would be to teach computing in schools, colleges and universities ... after that the sticks are to cut budgets, they would have tools to help their students to understand how programs work and do not use their imagination, such as in the proprietary sofgüer, where prohibited disassemble a program and study.
I hope this time the deputies heard the absurd allegations that were rejected last time for this project. Allegations were based in fear, backed by the ignorance that exists in the country around sofgüer free. That's where our community seeks to inform the Citizenship of having options. The Costa Ricans are not required to use the same programs as always, pay their licenses or accept their conditions. Let
examples from other countries
as Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Russia and China, where many government entities, private enterprises and private users have decided to migrate to the free sofgüer with excellent results.
With this law, you
would not have to switch to sofgüer free, but I assure you that if you do, start to feel the benefits. The world is experiencing a revolution of free sofgüer. Depends nosot
ros Ticos if we want to be part of it or stay in a disadvantageous model for our country. Hopefully
this time the project does not fall on deaf ears (or rather, capped). "Return to twenty times undertake your work,
pulidla volvedla endlessly and polishing." Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux
