Open-source audit completed in South Africa region

09.12.2005
The results of the first Western Cape Open Source Software (OSS) audit were presented at the City of Cape Chambers in South Africa on Tuesday.

The audit conducted over the past month-and-a-half, was facilitated by the Cape IT initiative (CITI), the Western Cape Provincial Government, the City of Cape Town and open-source magazine, Tectonic.

The audit was the result of the first OSS workshop held in Cape Town two months ago. The aim was to ascertain where skills currently lie and where there is a need for skills development.

Responses came from companies offering OSS sales and support in the Western Cape region.
