Penguin Mela: A day with Free Software
Description:
What is Free Software? Is it the software that you download for free, but later says, "Conditions applied?" Is a software really free if you cannot share it with friends, if you cannot modify it, if you cannot even inspect what it's doing (even though it's inspecting you?) Is that even okay?
Lets spend a day finding about "Free Software." Softwares that give you freedom, literally. Freedom to (recursively) copy, modify, share, inspect. Softwares with no plan of entrapping you in a walled (enclosed) ecosystem. Free software is all around us. We use it everyday. On our computers, on our phones, when we use the Internet, when we hire a ride...
Lets talk about softwares that we use ... and the softwares that we could use: Windows, or Linux. Chrome, or Firefox. Photoshop, or the GIMP?
