Sun shares its technology with Vietnam’s open source community
VietNamNet Bridge – Sun Microsystems has opened the source codes of its operating systems JavaSE, NetBeans, Solaris and is providing them free of charge for the community of IT developers of Vietnam.
Naveen Asrani, Manager in charge of developers in Asia-Pacific of
Sun Microsystems, announced this information at the 3rd Sun Developer
Days in Hanoi on May 24. A similar event was held in HCM City today,
May 25.
Having come to Vietnam three times within the past 18 months, Mr Naveen
Asrani commented that the community of Vietnamese developers had the
fastest development speed in the region.
Besides professional programmers, Sun has also introduced its open
source codes to universities of Vietnam like the Technology University
of the National University, the Hanoi University of Technology, the IT
University and the International University of the National
University.
“Our goal is providing tools for programmers to create products to sell
to users. The third users will have to use hardware and support
software of Sun and we earn profit from those users,” Mr Naveen Asrani
said.
While software copyrights are being tightened in Vietnam, this is
considered an opportunity for Vietnamese programmers to use open source
codes to create software products without violating copyrights.
