Zacatecas. November 13, 2015 (News Agency Conacyt) .- In addition to technological applications, the software Leisure represents a line of innovation and research in a matter of technological solutions based on open source philosophy . So what is the software Free? For its term in English, free software, it could be related to the free qualifier; however, in addition to that and under greater importance should be viewed as a creation of applications and computing platforms that, besides not having a cost, can be modified and enriched by the user, using the denominator freedom even more than gratuity.
How is the Leisure a technology platform?
The engineer Manuel Márquez Haro, head of the Laboratory of software Free Zacatecas, explains in an interview with the News Agency Conacyt the philosophy of Free open source software maintains code-sharing activity, involved in documentation, allowing projects and improving the dissemination of such improvements in a community setting and collaborative, where, what the user does, anyone else have the opportunity to use it to improve and so will be consolidated once the initial work as well as being optimized. . All this under an open collaborative trust, to share, to pass information between users of the same free software
Zacatecas is one of the entities of Mexico where nearly one hundred percent of the technological platform of government is mounted on free software under the Linux system . Solutions used in the secretariats of public services, finance, education, are based on the software. Such is the case of the capital’s City Hall Help application, through which, with support from Zacatecano Council for Science, Technology and Innovation (Cozcyt), from August 2015 prevention efforts that respond to the needs of citizens are met on mobile platforms Android and IOS.
Then, the solutions developed with software Free are quite complete, because any solution that requires a government or company under any circumstances or dimension, the Free software has alternatives to do so. Should not have, has a basis upon which it could acquire and develop in detail the next step to consolidate, offering solutions to any computing needs.
In this regard, the engineer said that 120 projects have been handled in the laboratory, only three or four have started from scratch. “All the others have been based on cooperation, offering solutions to any public or private instance where required to implement technological innovation projects”.
Opportunities offered by the software Free to Mexico
The innovation projects and the opportunities they have in Mexico could significantly benefit should increase the number of teams and communities software Free in the country. If the benefit and human resources with which account is already known, why not begin to spread? If the Free software is not used, all efforts would have to start from scratch. Using free software saves money, is optimized in terms of time, improvement and hence in quality and effectiveness.
In Mexico, a major area of opportunity would create collaborative communities, but this would be under a formal endorsement as would government, for when you have a need to take into account these communities to implement solutions in their development proposals.
Another area of opportunity is the generation of an emerging market based companies Free software. “Many adults have a higher resistance to change, come to start from scratch is not productive; however, the use of software Free represent significant savings in non-financial resources. Moreover, young people are more adaptable and can easily develop new projects, they could implement these companies, “concluded
