The vision of the thailand ICT Minister

From Bangkok Post

"With open source, there is no intellectual property.
Anyone can use it and all your ideas become public domain.
If nobody can make money from it, there will be no development
and open source software quickly become outdated"

Many of IT specialists, students, users in thailand are signing the open letter [English]
which will be sent to the minister to clarify his misunderstanding.


We hope that this action will make him understands opensource.

XAMPP, Instant Server Software

XAMPP is a software bundle containing:
- Apache -- Web server
- MySQL -- Database server
- PHP
- Perl

It also contains other several tools, phpMyAdmin, for example.

It is very convenient because you can download only one file,
extract it and it's ready to use.

You can extract it to a flashdrive too.
In this case, you can run services from the flashdrive directly. Cool!

Look, if you are a student.
When you're at school, you use a computer in the computer lab.
When you're at home, you use your computer in your bed room.
etc.

But you can carry your web app work and run it from any computer
without installing any software!
