Open Asia: Open source in Burma, Cambodia, and China (NewsForge)

[Posted September 2, 2003 by ris]

NewsForge looks into the availability of open source software in Burma (also known as Myanmar), Cambodia, and China. "The PeguNC-Linux distribution, aimed at Myanmar, is intended to encourage native data processing. According to a message in the Myanmar Linux Users Club Yahoo! group, Myanmar has just a font, but no language support with sorting and searching. Byteklay, a member of the project, says, "(We) started with a so-called PeguNC-linux project at mmlinux.org . When I couldn't continue mmlinux, friends from mm carried that project on myanmarlug.org, a site developed and maintained by Ko Wiston [Compunut].""
