LINUX and OPEN SOURCE INTERESTS SURVEY

****NOT YET CONNECTED TO THE DATABASE !
(for advice only)****
GNU/Linux Belgian links This site collects data about belgian people, institutions and companies that are interested in, or users of, the free Linux operating system and free and/or Open Source software.

The goal is to convince authorities (universities, schools, government) that Linux and Open Source software are high quality alternatives for most (but not yet all) commercial software.
(Follow the links on this page for more detailed information if you're not yet convinced of the truth of this statement.)


The more people we can find to fill in this survey, the more convincing our arguments will sound to the ears of our national, regional and industrial decision makers. We want to use the results of this survey to force them (through the appeal of the evidence) to actively stimulate and support the dissemination of Linux and OSS within their organisations.

So please take some time to fill in the following questionaire.


Remarks :
  1. The survey is PROJECT oriented, so if you are dealing with more than one project, please enter them on separated sheets.

  3. Some fields allow to enter multiple choices.
