MTID: More Than 20,000 Copies of Free Software Downloaded
The Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Society of Serbia (MTID) announced that, between March 25 and April 9, 2008, over 20,000 copies of localized free software packages were downloaded from its servers by the citizens of Serbia.
Fedora Linux was downloaded by more than 1.000 visitors, OpenOffice by 3500, Srbzila and Gromoptica were downloaded 11,500 and 6,300 times, respectively. Having in mind that free software can be distributed freely and installed on many computers, the number of installed copies is certainly higher than the number of downloads.
The Ministry noted that it detected problems with capacity of the academic network and announced plans to make downloading available from several other servers in the future.
MTID financed the 8,000,000 Dinars worth project of localization of popular free software packages into Serbian language – Fedora Linux 8; OpenOffice; Mozilla Firefox (Srbzila) web-browser; and Thunderbird (Gromoptica) mail client.
The localization was done by he experts from the Schools of Organization Sciences and the School of Mathematics in Belgrade, and the School of Electronic Engineering in Niš.
