Reflections on open source
According to the statement of First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev: “independence in the field of information technologies is one of the main conditions for the independence of our country as a whole ... If our country sits down on a foreign software needle, then it will never get off of it”.
To get rid of foreign software monopoly, the first steps have already been taken - a program has been approved for the transition of Russian schools to free software. The program started in December 2007 and so far has affected three pilot districts: Tatarstan, Perm Krai and Tomsk Region. The package delivered for schools will include: operating system, office applications, development tools, graphics programs, antivirus software and an archiver.
However, there are certain difficulties in developing and maintaining free software. According to CNews magazine, today “the majority of domestic free software developers use foreign development environments (repositories) without having full access to the key components of the environment. And only a developed domestic development environment (own repository or repository system) will allow creating and maintaining free software products in case of closure of borders. ” According to CNews, such a prospect is possible only with the support of the state.
')
A similar situation with foreign repositories is due, to some extent, to the low informatization of software developers on domestic development tools. For example, the BARS Group Company has already made its BARS Platform business application technology open for a long time. Timur Akhmerov, CEO of the company, officially states that “BARS Group is ready to initiate a large-scale state repository, which, undoubtedly, will increase the efficiency of the domestic IT sector. Proof of this is the ability of any company to leave some information about itself on our website and get the Open Source Platform free of charge. ”
And then, in the future, if software developers come to a common opinion about the need to switch to free software, the “eighties dream”, which was so often spoken about earlier, may come true - our country will create the Russian Programming School, which will be the world's leading!
