“Conectiva…is launching the Spanish version of CL-4.0 and
CL- Server Edition packages. The company decided to speed up
the software launching, after verifying the success achieved by
CL-3.0, Linux’s first version in Spanish, launched during Comdex 99
Argentina.”
“To set off the software launching, Conectiva organized a road
show, which starts today in Caracas, Venezuela, at the 1st
Conference & Exposition Ibero Americana for Linux. Afterwards,
it goes to the US (September 28 and 29), Colombia (September 27 and
28), Peru (September 30 and October 1 and 2), Mexico (October 3, 4
and 5), Chile (October 6, 7, 8 and 9) and Argentina (October 10,
11, 12 and 13).”
“Sandro Henrique, Conectiva’s commercial director, believes that
the interest for Linux by Latin American countries denotes similar
motives as the Brazilian consumers: “Low purchase power, anti-fraud
laws, and a strong desire to improve the platform, which is causing
companies and users to migrate.”
