IBM Australia and Commonwealth technology research agency NICTA have announced a three-year joint venture program focused on boosting the performance of open source software such as Linux to smooth the progress of uptake of such software into enterprise computing.
Open Source Victoria perceives that one of the benefits that Open Source offers for Australian industry development, is that through universal and friction-free access to the source code, centres such as this, can be launched here. This keeps talented IT researchers within this country, increases our skillsbase, adds to the local ICT critical mass and benefits the nation.
