Other languages
Hello, your primer seems to be very informative, judging from what I've skimmed of it so far. However, I would like to know if you are planning on translating it into other languages besides Russian, especially Spanish. I would suggest that the organizations that most need Free and Open Source Software are those not based in English-speaking countries. Often, these non-English organizations use pirated software for want of alternatives, and the primer could help them decide whether or not to run FOSS on their computers, but only if they can read the primer in the first place.
Open Source Business Resource
Just wanted to than you again or posting this resource. I saw it most recently included in a Canadian publication promoting open source to businesses. The November issue looks neat.
