Its really encouraging to see how much open source has cought up in Sri Lanka. A lot if the credit in this regard should go to visionaries like Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana who initiated the Lanka Software Foundation (LSF) and later on went on to founder WSO2.
A living testimony to the development of open source in Sri Lanka is GSoC 2008. Where Sri Lanka was ranked 9th in the list of GSoc Applications and GSoc Accepted Applications. Not surprisingly a staggering number of applications from Sri Lanka came from the University of Moratuwa which is where I was privileged to have had my Higher education at. The University of Moratuwa ranked 1st in both the number of Applicants and number of accepted applications.
