Battered by a host of problems in recent years, Brazil still remains the 
most vibrant Latin American economy. With its strong extractive, 
manufacturing, and service industries, IT in Brazil is booming. Tech 
startups are springing to life and organizations everywhere are seeking 
to digitally transform their operations.

And in spite of many obstacles, the use of free and open source software 
continues to proliferate. Open source advocates have turned to 
grassroots means of promoting open source software—rather than relying 
on government support—while hackers are creating meetups and other 
spaces for collaboration and training. As a result, open source is 
everywhere: business, education, and industry.

We invite you to have a free copy of Andy Oram's 28-page report on /Open 
Source in Brazil/

to businesses, education, and more, under even the most challenging 
situations.
