Iwan S. Tahari discusses FANS, a shoe manufacturer in Indonesia, and their adoption of open source software. FANS began migrating to open source in 2007 starting with a few desktop PCs in a dual boot configuration. By 2012, they had partially migrated some notebook PCs and desktops to Linux Mint. In 2013, they migrated their accounting software to a Linux server and had 13 Linux clients compared to just 1 Windows client. By 2014, FANS had achieved a 100% open source environment with 2 Linux servers and 13 Linux workstations. FANS contributes to open source development by sponsoring writing contests and books. Their next steps include adopting open source CAD, statistics software, and integrating open source with computer
