The Limpopo government has adopted a free and open-source software (Foss) strategy and aims to leverage the low-barriers to entry to these systems to boost its enterprise development and services sectors and initiatives, says German enterprise open-source software subsidiary SUSE Africa indirect client executive Derek Rule. Provincial Limpopo Connexion aims to leverage Foss for governmental organisations and education – the agency and SUSE have already rolled out a Foss system to 25 schools in the province and plan to extend the initiative to more schools. The offline content project has led to definitively better results as a result of the year-long project.
