  There are a lot of global reasons, but why is OSS of interest to Armenian
  developers and firms:

  <ul>

    <li>Licenses don't work here</li>

    <!-- Software is free .. so charging for it won't get you any money -->

    <li>Aid Community</li>
   
    <!-- If you want to start a project then you may want to seek money
         from the AID community.  They are very interested in funding Open
         Source projects as it helps their money count for every country not
         just the one they are trying to help -->

    <li>Publicity</li>

    <!-- Participating in projects and starting projects can make your name known.
         Talk about Hrvoje, XEmacs, wget, Japan and arsDigita -->

    <li>Experience</li>

    <!-- Having an education is great, having a body of work is better.  Show off
         your skills.  -->

    <li>Related Jobs</li>

    <!-- Companies are always looking for ways to get work done cheaply.  If you
         contribute to a worthy project and they need someone to work on it they
         may pay for your services -->

    <li>Diaspora</li>

    <!-- OSA and EIF are both backing this project and they have
         connections with Armenians abroad who may be able to attract
         business to you -->

    <li>Big Companies will ignore Armenian needs</li>

    <!-- Armenia is a small market, an Armenian version of Windows is
         never going to come out.  If you adopt OSS people can start
         to work Armenianize their software. -->

  </ul>
