Mongolian new year

Today is last day of this mongolian year. Tomorrow, new year will begin. It's named as bull. During this coming year our local community is planning to re-initiate localization efford and to have almost complete localized GNOME by the end of the year. Also Linux InstallFest in May, most successful, and biggest Software Freedom Day in our history in September. And much more.

I wish that this year would be just beginning of active and successful years of FOSS in Mongolia.

Hello world, again

Hello world and Planet GNOME.

I started this blog back in 2007, and stopped posting after 3 posts. Most of my english blog readers come from Planet GNOME thanks to Jeff. From now on I think I should post news about Mongolian FOSS community to make world know how are we active.

Mongolian FOSS community is active since 2003. We started with GNOME localization in 2003. In 2005 we formed Unix User Group, and then LiMNux or linux user group in 2007. From 2007 some of local universities and tech schools use FOSS tools to teach programming, and computer usage. In 2008 part of our community, OpenMN team, completed localization of OpenOffice.org. And in 2009 everyone, even our government, is talking about FOSS adoption.

To be continued...
