Managing Technologies In Developing Countries: Open Source Vs Commercial Options/le Management Des Technologies Dans Les Pays En Developpement: Logiciels Libres Vs Options Commerciales. Proceedings Of The Ifla Pre-conference Satellite Meeting, Dakar, Sene

摘要

This volume is a compilation of papers presented, both in English and French, at a colloquium primarily addressing the implications of open source software to institutions and services in developing countries, particularly in African nations.rnOnly the abstracts of each paper and the conclusion at the end of the book are written in English and French. The full papers are published without translations. For those who do not read French, the English abstract is all you have, and I am sure you will be missing out on some of the important content on research results and experiences gained in some of the projects mentioned. Apart from the opening papers, the session themes covered recent case studies in the implementation of technologies, new technologies and new tools for development, and new projects for the future of Africa.
