“Regular readers of this blog will know that I’ve tracked the
rather painful history of attempts to increase the deployment of
free software in Russia, notably in its schools. Well, that saga
continues, it seems, with doubts being expressed about the creation
of a Russian national operating system based on GNU/Linux:

“Иногда
приходится
слышать,
что идея
национальной
программной
платформы
содержит в
себе
логическое
противоречие.
Ведь если
такая
платформа
действительно
будет
создаваться
на базе СПО,
то такое
программное
обеспечение
будет
более чем
на 90%
произведено
не в России,
а за
рубежом.
Соответственно,
и НПП у нас
получится,
скорее,
какая-нибудь
американо-германо-индийская,
а не
российская.

“[Google Translate: Sometimes we hear that the idea of a
national software platform contains a logical contradiction. After
all, if this platform really will be created based on the ACT, then
this software will be more than 90% are not produced in Russia and
abroad. Accordingly, the NPP, we will, more likely, some kind of
US-German-Indian, not Russian.]”
