But new ICTs are here to stay, forming the very backbone of modern communication systems, media production, trade and various services. And for intermediary groups such as women’s organisations, they are among the effective ways of pursuing advocacies and reaching out to more stakeholders. As the study noted, “[PC4D] does not ICTs have been seen as an opportunity signify that new ICTs cannot be useful in forwarding private interest, especially or empowering for grassroots women in the spirit of neoliberalism.

  • Leveraging Open Source Software
    1 Leveraging Open Source Software (Text of talk delivered by Justice Yatindra Singh Judge Allahabad High Court at the 9th e- Governance conference on 3rd February 2006 at Kochi, Kerala) FUD is an abbreviation of fear, uncertainty and doubt; it is often a salesman's strategy: spreading false rumours regarding others' products. Open source software (OSS) is its victim. In our country FUD for OSS arises out of ignorance. I am glad that, we are discussing OSS as it has crucial role to play in the IT world. WHAT IS OSS? A computer programme consists of two parts: Source Code and Object Code. Nowadays, computer programmes are written in high level computer languages using compact English words. This part is known as source code. These languages also have a programme called compiler and with their help, source code is compiled into machine language so that computers may understand it. When it is so done, it is called object code or machine code. Description―if it complies with certain conditions―is protected as a Copyright. Source code is a kind of description and can be protected as copyright provided it is published or disclosed. In the proprietery software, source code is generally not disclosed and in such a situation it is protected as a trade secret or undisclosed information. There was a debate whether object code is protected as a copyright or not but after TRIPS, it has to be protected as a copyright and now object code is so protected. Everyone is not using copyrights to have rights in computer programme.

  • WIKI on ACCESSIBILITY Completion Report March 2010
    WIKI ON ACCESSIBILITY Completion report March 2010 By Nirmita Narasimhan Programme Manager Centre for Internet and Society Project Title: Wiki on “Accessibility, Disability and the Internet in India” Page | 1 REPORT Accessibility wiki: accessibility.cis-india.org The wiki project was envisaged and funded by the National Internet Exchange of India (www.nixi.in) and has been executed by the Centre for Internet and Society (www.cis-india.org), Bangalore. Project Start date: May 2009 End date: February 2010. Background India has a large percentage of disabled persons in its population— estimated to be over seven per cent as per the Census of 2001. Even this figure is believed to be a gross under representation of the total number of disabled persons residing in this large and diverse country. Taken in figures, this amounts to roughly 70-100 million persons with disabilities in the territory of India. Out of this number, a mere two per cent residing in urban areas have access to information and assistive technologies which enable them to function in society and enhance their performance. There are several reasons for this, one of them being that there is a deplorable lack of awareness which exists on the kinds of disabilities and about ways in which one can provide information and services to disabled persons. Parents, teachers, government authorities and society at large are all equally unaware about the options which exist in technology today to enable persons with disabilities to carry on independent and productive lives. Barring a few exceptions, India is still trapped in an era where a white cane and a Braille slate symbolises the future for blind people, while the world has progressed to newer forms of enabling technology such as screen readers, daisy players, the Kindle and so on.

    POST LIST INFORMASIETEGNOLOGIE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LINUX UBUNTU OR WINDOWS? In this article we will look at a few of the common differences between Ubuntu and windows 8. Firstly with any software package before making decisions most people will look at what it would cost me as user to purchase it. With windows 8 you are looking at a retail price of R800 upwards, but of course as a student of Stellenbosch University, it can be purchased for a mere R180-00 from the Student IT Centre. However with Ubuntu, it’s completely free! Now let’s have a look at how they differ at first glance, Ubuntu brings their Unity look to the platform whereas Windows 8 brings there new metro look to theirs. Ubuntu is also a fairly light weight operating system compared to Windows 8 which takes up 16 to 20 GB of hard drive space compared to Ubuntu’s 4.5GB. Below is a table of a list of relevant comparisons.
