[Ubuntu-SG] Requesting help on Open Source research

[Ganesh Bhat]

Hi Loong Jin,

Thanks for the information.

I will be more clear in my communication with them as I already have a list of questions that they can answer. I will send across the questionnaire to the contact that you have provided.

I have sent a mail through the 'Contact Us' feature on fosa.sg and hope to receive some feedback soon.


Regards,

Ganesh Bhat,

Hi Ganesh,

Nice to meet you. I'm Loong Jin, a member of Ubuntu SG and current president of the NTU Open Source Society.

While I can't comment on the usage of open source software in the Singapore government and NGOs, the NTUOSS[1] can possibly provide information about the use of open source software within NTU. And likewise, NUSHackers[2] (formerly
LinuxNUS[3]) about NUS, and SMU OS3[4] about SMU.

You could also try contacting FOSA-SG[5], which probably has people who would be better suited to provide information for the rest of the stuff that aren't covered above.

Another thing I should probably mention is that I am really not sure what kind of information you are looking for, so perhaps you should phrase your question more specifically when contacting the individual groups.
