Microsoft Makes Donation to Peru | |
|
||
| Time: 03:10 EST/08:10 GMT | News Source: Associated Press | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||

Microsoft Corp. is providing about $550,000 in money, software and consulting services to the Peruvian government for educational and "e-government" initiatives. In a news conference Monday, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo announced the contribution, Microsoft's first in Peru. Toledo, elected last year, made technology and education a key focus, and initiated conversations with Microsoft, said Sandro Marcone Flores, executive director of the Huascaran project in Peru. Marcone Flores downplayed whether the contributions could conflict with a proposal under debate in the Peruvian government. That proposal, by Congressman Edgar Villanueva, would obligate all public institutions to convert exclusively to open-source software, in which the underlying code is available to anyone wanting to revise or customize it. | ||
