 F/OSS Adoption in Brazil: the Growth of a National Strategy - POSA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Brazil boasted the world's 15th largest economy with a GDP of $493 billion, but its GDP per capita was $7,900, 94th in the world (Cadina, 2004; World Factbook, 2004).
What Brazil needs to do, in all areas, is to plunge within itself in order to create forces to enable it to expand its horizons.
The examples of Korea, Venezuela, and Brazil together demonstrate that despite important differences in local political conditions, many of the themes that have propelled open-source adoption in Brazil are neither specific to the latter country nor tied to left-wing flavors of nationalism and/or antiglobalization sentiment.

The book doesn't disclose a vast complex hinterland to Brazil's personality, and his haunts are resolutely predictable: football stadium, horsetrack, bookies.
It would be just about tolerable if Brazil's life and times contained themselves to anecdotes of 'rucks', dressing room banter and horses that had come in.
It's a sign of the man's fundamental decency that he laments not his own abuse but that of all those other boys whose football futures were robbed, and it's also a reminder never to judge a book by its cover.

Wednesday morning talkSPORT radio presenter Alan Brazil, the former football star, called Morrissey and The Smiths 'boring'.

Footballers are renowned for bad haircuts, but Alan Brazil was the worst offender.
