Dear friends, I tought you all would like to know of an event that happened this past week. Was held in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on the 27th of May, the 1st Eletronico Government Meeting. This event, that counted with over 300 state and city officials, had in its many booths over 40 LTSP terminals, all running KDE and Mozilla, demonstrating several applications focused in e-government, e-procurement, citizen services and anti-corruption strategies. All the solutions presented were developed using open source tools, from the SGDB to the operating systems. The event was a huge success, demonstrating the power of open source, and presenting LTSP terminals as a viable solution for developing countries.
I would like to thank all of you, that in a way or another participate in making LTSP what it is today. Mr. McQuil, hope to see you this Saturday in the event in Brazil...
