Yangfan Linux

It's my bet this PRC announcement is a 'sleeper' story that will become more important in retrospect: Yangfan is putting huge resources into an "office desktop" linux and has already (apparently) done a lot for internationalization, but ... where is their code? Google tracked down half a dozen news items on them from People's Daily and New Scientist to CNet, and not one gives a website, and the Beijing Linux website hasn't been updated in three years.

If anyone is down at the Expo, please see if you can corner the PRC contingent and get their URL -- with their nation being the number two net-citizenry and give the way the rest of us would like our governments to at least accept Linux, we should really keep an eye on their progress.

Hmmm....no pictures? This sounded more like a sales pitch for share360. One
big paragraph for a completely non-Linux product which is possibly not even
open source. The para about Ximian is completely useless. We have heard
that thousand times before. Hopefully we'll se a better report tomorrow.
