Russian developers to create the trade union

Oleg Bunin, the founder of Russian Internet Technologies conference (RIT'2007) announced the forthcoming start of professional developers union in Russia. The institution would be responsible for contacts with universities (and working out educational recommendations), promotion of professional standards, maintaining rights of union members in open-source projects and fighting excessive Internet regulation. Also the union would educate web-hosters "so that they don't get overheat at summer and could faster react on DDos-attacks", smiles Oleg Bunin. Although union's founders are not ready to registrate it as formal institution, they are all eager to act as a consolidated professional community.
