[Freebangfont-devel] Open Source Software Status in Bangladesh

[Omi Azad]

Hello All,
As a Open Source Software (OSS) Developer I want to make some questions 
to you. I think I don't have any other place batter then this to ask my 
questions.

In my point of view the people who are making OSS in Bangladesh are 
doing it as per hobby only. Most of them (as far I know) are students 
from many places in real life. But we have a few developers who are 
related with IT as job in practical life and also participating for 
making or helping to make OSS too. I don't know the reason (may be some 
of you know).

From a long time some questions are in my mind and I believe some 
people may hep me to know the perfect answer. Here are my questions with 
detail.

1: What are the current status of Open source in Bangladesh. I mean 
where can I find the most culture of OSS in bangladesh IT sector.

2: Looking at the culture of OSS, I want to know why they are depending 
OSS. Is it only because it's free?

3: We cannot see any implementation of software copyright here in BD, so 
we can use any software anytime, so is there any future of OSS really?

4: Is our government concern about OSS and it's benefits and do we have 
any culture of OSS in academia of Bangladesh?

5: Can anyone tell me some successful OSS projects and some projects 
people are working on?

6: If we start any new project as OSS, what should we start with? I mean 
what are the demands to OSS from the IT industry?

You are thinking why I'm asking you all this. Well, I'm dedicated to OSS 
development in Bangladesh, so I must know all this to understand why I'm 
working for and what I am up to.

Please give me information on the questions I asked you above.

Best regards.
