This financial year, OSMOS has a new target. NGOs.
This is one sector in India that languishes eternally for funds, resources, and so on.
The chosen cream of the lot walk away with funds, finance, dollar support, CSR support and so on because they are able to support a huge marketing, networking and connect infrastructure to reach out to the right people. The bulk of the lot, especially those that do work at grass-roots are often left with a lesser share of the pie to do work…
Open Source = free software. Correct? Open Source can be used Commercially too? Correct.
So why does someone charge for setting up a CMS using Drupal, or a blog using Wordpress, or a shopping cart using OS-Commerce ?
Moodle has been around for a while now.
It’s definitely the best tool we’ve come across in the open source space for serving any client’s e-Learning requirements.
We like the way its structured on purely “pedagogical principles,” (contents from moodle.org) namely :
Opensource has changed the way the world works.
It has brought in technologies in an extremely simplified form to diverse people, leaving them free to work on content and concepts, delivering them from the pain of learning and managing technologies. It has brought in quality, excellence, capability and maturity to a variety of web driven entities, and allowed these entities to service their clients better and faster.
It has taken away monopolistic edges away from a clutch, and brought software down to users.
Spanning across domains and technology areas, OpenSource promises to grow and provide its capabilities to people, and its commitement to allow people to focus on their core skill areas by taking away tech worries from them.
