Brazil, China and Hawaii

Where is the next center of innovative software technology?

China has recognized the value of Open Source and formed the China Open Source Software Promotion Alliance and Brazil has the National Institute of Information Technology.

For the latest from Hawaii here is a quote from the HOSEF website:

"As a way to show our local businesses, non-profits, governments, and private individuals just how pervasive and valuable free and openly sourced software has become, HOSEF has worked hard to invite some globally respected speakers to join us for TPOSSCON, the Trans-Pacific Open Source Software Conference. It will be taking place at the Convention Center this January, and we have a schedule worthy of your attention."
