Tunisia launches Taskforce Opensource

The Free Software Unit of the Secretariat of State for Technology of Tunisia’s Ministry of Industry and Technology has launched Taskforce Opensource, an initiative aimed at fostering the adoption and implementation of open source in Tunisia.

The site’s home page states:

This collaborative space is designed to collate your proposals and your comments on many topics related to Free Software. Anyone can take part (citizens, public and private sectors, civic society, teachers, educators, etc.). Don’t hesitate to tell us your ideas in order to benefit from the potential for employability, entrepreneurship, innovation and growth offered by free software.

There’s lots more ideas on the Taskforce Opensource website and the initiative can also be followed on Twitter and Facebook.
