SoC 2007

Introduction 

The theme of our GSoC program this year is "Telecenter Portals and Applications". It has been recognized that FOSS offers benefits that are particularly useful for people in developing countries, as it facilitates access to and increases ownership of information and communication technologies. Problems such as poverty and social exclusion seem insurmountable due to their sheer size but the open source community has demonstrated that equally large collective efforts of people working together for a common good are possible.
