“MandrakeSoft raises bar on open-sourcing by launching
innovative open-sourced services, MandrakeExpert and
MandrakeCampus, in the form of e-marketplaces focused on
e-learning, courseware and other LINUX support.”

“MandrakeSoft, the leader in US Linux retail sales last year,
announced the acquisition of Coursemetric Corp., an ASP-software
and information services company specialising in the provision of
Web-based evaluation tools for education and training
organisations. The company also launched a new Open-Source
e-support and e-learning marketplace that will leverage the
Mandrake community to bring expertise to customers and Linux users
worldwide.”
