Wiki Notes on Free Software
Posted by Patrick on March 3, 2012
Almost four years ago wrote a series of blog posts about free software. About a week ago, I found myself returning to them with the urge to update them with some of the latest development. Instead of editing the posts directly, I decided to combine them all into one wiki page that I’ll be able to keep current more easily as I make more connections regarding this huge and important topic.
The topics are:
- What is free software?
- Why is it important (specially to education)?
- How to go about switching to free software?
I’ve also installed a basic comment plugin to the wiki so feel free to comment there (instead of here).
