HOW TO PROMOTE AND DEVELOP INTEREST FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO USE OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE.....????????????


 Open Source Software is a free software were all the user can use without paying out anyting. Then y you all waiting for....letz use it........
Here is the main points to develop the interest of other to using oss.......which are :



  • Cost
Most current Open Source projects are also available free of royalties and fees, leading to the confusion around the commonly used term `free software'.
  •  Freedom
Freedom from a single vendor
Software vendors can go out of business, and they can arbitrarily decide to cease development of a product. How would your business cope if it relied on such a product? Open-source software allows you to retain not just the right to use the software you already have, but the ability to continue to use it as your needs change.
Freedom to modify your software
You aren't limited to what one company believes you need. Proprietary software vendors must cater for many different companies, predominantly their own. Open-source software can be tailored for the way you do business. It is usually within the resources of all but the smallest companies to modify Open Source software to suit their own needs (and potentially then to make those enhancements available as a public good).
