Developer
Pardus is developed in Turkey by the National Research Institute of Electronics and Cryptology ( UEKAE ). This facility is subject to the Turkish Science and Technology Research Institute ( TÜBİTAK ). In 2006, working on Pardus 15 developers and not exactly known number of volunteers. By the year 2012, the number of developers should be raised to about 50. Turkish students also have the opportunity to complete an internship at the Pardus project.
Objectives
According to the project coordinator Erkan Tekman you started the Pardus project in 2003 to ensure the safety of the computer used, inter alia, on areas such as the intelligence service and the army. To ensure this, had to be ensured that the source code is open and freely modifiable. The cost savings by using a specially developed operating system based on Linux also played a role, as Microsoft's Windows operating systems on machines of the armed forces and civil authorities that caused a lot of money had to be paid for licenses abroad.
Dissemination
Pardus is used in a pilot project since April 2007 by the Central Authority of the army recruitment ( ASAL ) and their representatives. Both other administrative structures of the armed forces and the Turkish Defence and the Ministry of Education to monitor the changeover to the Central Pardus recruitment authority of the army and planning a conversion. In parallel, the Ministry of Education will launch later this year Pardus at a few schools.
Pardus is used by the chief of Radio and Television of Turkey to the archiving, management and analysis of the broadcast program content of 210 national television channels and 860 national radio stations.
The representative of the Ministry of Health for the province of Manisa is currently drawing up a roadmap for the implementation of e- health project based on Pardus. Through the project, patients, doctors and pharmacists are given a central access file. This includes, for example, the disease history of the patient, but also the possibility of paying the medical prescriptions for the patient line. In the first stage 360 computers were connected to two central servers and previously recorded data of one million patients. In the next stage the provinces of Antalya, Bursa, Hatay and Eskişehir to the e - health system are connected.
Pardus 2007 has been (as of 1 February 2007) downloaded 120,000 times from the project homepage. This represents an increase of 300% compared to version 1.0. Extrapolating the data traffic from universities such as the Istanbul Bilgi University and other which will also host Pardus, Pardus 2007 version has been downloaded over 200,000 times.
