Open source's local heroes (Economist)Open source's local heroes (Economist)Posted Dec 8, 2003 18:34 UTC (Mon) by KaiRo (subscriber, #1987)Parent article: Open source's local heroes (Economist) Man, I hope this article will get freely available... L10n people seem to go a bit little recognized sometimes, as the primary achievements of the software are not in that area normally, but it's nice even the press does recognize that work sometimes. Doing the (as it seems) most-requested Mozilla localization (German) for about 4 years now, it would be interesting to see what they actually do write there ;-)

Open source's local heroes (Economist) Posted Dec 8, 2003 22:55 UTC (Mon) by JoeF (subscriber, #4486) [Link] The article is of course also in this week's print edition of the Economist. It is part of the Technology Quarterly section. That's why it is not yet freely available on their website (why else would anybody buy the print edition...)I have seen a bunch of good articles about Open Source in the Ecomonist recently. That's a good sign, since the readers of the Economist are usually not exactly techie guys.

But there are some of us who read it. I've been a subscriber for over 3 years.
Open source's local heroes (Economist) Posted Dec 9, 2003 11:24 UTC (Tue) by keithw (guest, #3127) [Link] It's usually a great read. I wonder if there's a correlation between reading lwn.net and the Economist. Hmm - maybe I'll go buy a copy now.
Open source's local heroes (Economist) Posted Dec 9, 2003 11:32 UTC (Tue) by cpm (guest, #3554) [Link] Interesting comment.I've been reading the Economist for about 8 years, I know a lot of other people who newstand read it, and a few who subscribe. All of them are tech-savvy folks. In fact, all of the technical people i know, read the Economist for their news. They don't trust any other source. Interesting indeed.
