“BASCOM Global Internet Services, Inc. (BASCOM), pioneering
developers of Linux-based thin server productivity solutions for
small business, today announces the live “premier” of an initiative
that received the widespread support of the Open Source Community
when it was first announced this past February at the LinuxWorld
show in New York City. Consistent with the collaborative spirit of
the Open Source movement, BASCOM’s Open Source Equipment
Exchange (osee.bascom.org) will match those donating computer
equipment with those in the Open Source community needing to add
infrastructure to further their development efforts and spur
innovation toward the continued evolution of the Linux operating
system.“
“We were encouraged by the enthusiastic broad reception of the
concept when we introduced it several months ago. The Open Source
Equipment Exchange is designed to spur development among the Open
Source community by making critical hardware resources available to
those who need it most,” said BASCOM Chief Technology Officer Bob
DeRosa. “The OSEE can only accelerate innovation and further
increase the viability of Linux as a reliable, scalable and robust
platform for business environments of all types and sizes.”
