September 14, 2007 RosBusinessConsulting reports that “on all school computers in the Russian Federation in 2009 Russian software will be installed . ” This statement was made by the Acting Minister of Information Technology and Communications Leonid Reiman.
According to the acting heads of department, this measure will significantly reduce Russia's dependence on foreign software. “Already in 2008 Russian software products will be tested in three pilot regions - Tomsk Region, Perm Territory and the Republic of Tatarstan. And in 2009 domestic software will be installed on all school computers, ”L. Reiman said.
What kind of "Russian software in question" the minister, unfortunately, did not mention. Maybe this is the text editor Lexicon , working in the already legendary Patriotic Operating System, which today considers it his duty to develop not just every schoolboy, but even a peanut? But what do “Russian software products” look like, what functionality do they have, what opportunities do they offer to users - who and when will answer these questions?
Suppose such developments are carried out and the Russian table and text editors, the operating system, the Internet browser really exist. Then how will the schoolchildren and students who grew up on Russian software products meet the requirements of employers who choose software not by geography, but by performance indicators? As we know, today domestic enterprises are inclined to use software and hardware produced in other countries, thereby creating a demand for specialists working with appropriate solutions. Will enterprises need specialists working with “Russian software products”?
