There’s a phenomenon in advertising called Client’s Disease. Every client is in love with his own product. The mistake he makes is believing that, because he loves it, everyone else will too. Well they don’t….

Here’s what u need to write

1) Reduce your message to its simplest, clearest, easiest-to-understand form.
2) Make it fun. Or sexy or interesting or informative.

25 years of shouting out loud “FREE THE SOURCE” on the streets walking naked, 25 years is a long time till now not many trust the open source they would rather turn to closed source, that’s unbelievable till now…

In my country we haven’t adapted the open source phenomenon throughly, we still have doubts on it, sometimes the reason is, that if you use close source then it fails you have company to blame, if you use open source you have no one to blame but your self or you can sue every committer that has worked on that application, but that would be a waste of time. Sure we have used many open source software that we just don’t notice (i.e. firefox), but still on a large scale this country has not progressed on the open source community

Here are some open source software so far being used by many of my kababayans

firefox
vlc media player
mysql
and that’s it….
