“Jobbik” will make Hungary an open source powerhouse
Jobbik is not a new Linux distribution, but a political party, hell bent on making Hungary an open source powerhouse, if wins the upcoming general election, in April.
This is an awesome news, because the other parties always favored proprietary software use in governement, paying only lip service to open source solutions.
Jobbik released its pre-election program, on January 16, 2010, and made crystal clear, that it would introduce open standards in government communications and make open source adoption mandatory in the education system.

| Red Hat Hires a Blind Software Engineer to Improve Accessibility on Linux Desktop
Accessibility on a Linux desktop is not one of the strongest points to highlight. However, GNOME, one of the best desktop environments, has managed to do better comparatively (I think).
In a blog post by Christian Fredrik Schaller (Director for Desktop/Graphics, Red Hat), he mentions that they are making serious efforts to improve accessibility.
Starting with Red Hat hiring Lukas Tyrychtr, who is a blind software engineer to lead the effort in improving Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Fedora Workstation in terms of accessibility.
