Go Open Source campaign projects are aimed at creating awareness, educating and providing access to open source software. It is important, once awareness of OSS has been created, that interested parties have the ability to gain access to the software and services, and that they have access to additional resources for support and training. Current projects that are on the go include:
- Ongoing media and PR campaign: So far, this has seen advertisements, radio and TV interviews, as well as numerous articles in IT publications. There is a lot more to come in this space...
- Go Open Source website: The website has already seen a number of revisions. The original launch website has now been replaced by the current one. The website not only acts as a communications medium for the campaign, but is expected to grow into an open source portal and resource repository. Through the website, we would like to inform, educate and provide access to many relevant OSS resources. Please do not hesitate to provide feedback regarding the website, and how we can improve it to meet your needs.
- OpenCD distribution: The OpenCD project aims to introduce MS Windows users to open source software. Showcasing high-quality OSS useful across a wide range of users (such as Office productivity software), the OpenCD not only introduces users to the advantages of OSS, but also to the OSS paradigm: users are encouraged to copy and redistribute the software to others. Currently, the campaign is posting any interested parties a copy of the OpenCD, free of charge. Click here for more information about this project.
Information on new projects, as well as updates on existing projects will be published frequently on this website.
