Some interesting news for leisure.
Last week in Washington DC, a staff from the State Department requests permission from Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, to use Mozilla Firefox instead in the office..
He says it is safer. And free! [ That did raise some laughter ].
A snippet of Hillary Clinton’s reply
“….. help us save money on stuff that we shouldn’t be wasting money on, and give us the chance to manage our resources to do more things like Firefox, okay?”
If the US of A is encouraging towards open source, why not us too?
Respect to Jim Finkle whom raised this suggestion in the DC Town Hall Meeting!
