Dear Readers, 

This is an interesting notice from John West, a good supporter of 
Bytes for All. Last time when we met each other in Oxford we
discussed about the possibilities of creating a network of open source 
software developers. I understand that there can be a number of 
similar groups/people into our list who are actively involved in 
developing open source software or in networking these. Here goes an 
open call from John West, a leading computer technologist-journalist 
based in Massachusetts, who wants to develop a network of such 
initiatives. Interested people can contact him directly.

Calling all open source developers on the Bytesforall list!

http://www.worldgeeks.org is a website under development to promote 
open  source software for use in developing country situations. We
are launching at the end of May and are looking for software and other 
material like  articles, links and case studies. If you are an open 
source developer, do you have any software you would like to post on 
the site, or links to software, pages and articles of relevance? If 
so, please email them to me, John West at salaahuddeen@xxxxxxxxxxxx 
For a full FAQ, go to our development site: 
http://worldgeeks.sourceforge.net.

We will launch with three main elements:

1) A library of open source software where developers who have 
completed  software can post links to their code, comment on it, and 
have it peer  reviewed.

2) A Slashdot.org style contributed news service on open source
developments of particular interest to developing countries.

3) A Yahoo-style searchable listings service specialized in links for 
software development in less developed countries.
