In past and recent developments - the nearshore progression has moved along as well - despite the offshore raves. Canada - offers competitiveness and might not be the ideal outsource partner for saving's beyond 20% but still the "maple leaf" offers a lot more than the conventional destinations like India and China.
Open Source: Today and Tomorrow
It all started from developer to developer, and now its going from corporate to corporate and now even from government to their other government departments. There is a growing love for Open Source and its wide and clear. To understand things more clearly in a detailed perspective John Carroll recently wrote a series of articles on Open Source, which is interesting and at the same time informative:
East outsourcing jobs back to West
This story brings out focus on some of the Indian-Offshore giants coming to the US next neighbour Canada and setting their roots there. For anybody who's unaware of the potential which the Indian industry has to offer clearly can get some idea in this story. For India itself a great amount of work is left to be done. Company's like IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, GE, Accenture aren't setting up their offices and creating development centers there for offshoring work of US or Europen markets; in fact, the great deal of work is going to come vice-versa back to US/Canada for that matter. So all the hoopla about 'our' jobs being stolen might have a second tune to it. As for right now one needs to wait and watch the ball rolling.

Finally I was able to retrieve some back up of my old site; hence, uploaded it right away. More to come soon. And starting with new ones as well. © Manoj Khanna/Open Source World/rapidblog.com 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 Powered by Dextrus Prosoft, Inc.
Welcome to RapidBlog.com
Finally I'm taking this seriously. Finally I've come back. RapidBlog.com was started in the winter of 2003. The site was hosted at a very affordable host - hence - went down a couple of times; lost contents at times; unfortunately, without any backups. I'm tired of the hosting service, but can't do anything as I paid a year full in advance and now they ('the-hosting-company') won't refund me. So, I say, what the heck. Let it be. Another ordeal for couple of months but this time I'll make sure I've all my proper back ups.

The illiteracy of the ignorant mind and the colored contours of the fancy e-world did most of the harm. Money spent and the money saved are two different issues.
