More content for non-IT readers

I have been reading your magazine since the last few years. The company I work in is in the manufacturing industry. Similarly, your subscribers’ database may have more individuals like me from companies that are not directly related to the IT industry.

Currently, your primary focus is on technical matters, and the magazine carries articles written by skilled technical individuals, so OSFY is really helpful for open source developers. However, you also have some non-IT subscribers like us, who can understand that something great is available in the open source domain, which they can deploy to reduce their IT costs. But, unfortunately, your magazine does not inform us about open source solutions providers.

I request you to introduce the companies that provide end-toend IT solutions on open source platforms including thin clients, desktops, servers, virtualisation, embedded customised OSs, ERP, CRM, MRP, emails and file servers, etc. Kindly publish relevant case studies, with the overall cost savings and benefits. Just as you feature job vacancies, do give us information about the solutions providers I mentioned above.

—Shekhar Ranjankar; shekhar.ranjankar@unitopgroup.com ED: Thank you for your valuable feedback. We do carry case studies of companies deploying open source, from time to time. We also regularly carry a list of different solutions providers from different open source sectors. We will surely take note of your suggestion and try to continue carrying content that interests non-IT readers too.
