bad vista

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

as promised i will present a few selected fsf projects during the next days. the first in the list is badvista - it encourages you not to use microsoft vista.

badvista logo - linked from fsf.org

what is it about?

The BadVista campaign is an advocate for the freedom of computer users, opposing adoption of Microsoft Windows Vista and promoting free (as in freedom) software alternatives. Sign the petition at Free Software Free Society and encourage non-governmental organizations you work with or support to join together in rejecting Vista.

why is it so bad? read what’s wrong with microsoft vista.

even tho it’s not related to the free software foundation, i found the article 100 Things People Are Really Saying About Windows Vista very amusing.

richard stallman in berlin

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

finally a new post by me: after upgrading this blog is safe again.

last week i had the pleasure to meet richard stallman in person. ccm, mnemonikk and me joined the passionate crowd in the atrium of the media centre, berlin. stallman, founder of the free software foundation (fsf), held a two-hour excourse on the importance and ethics of free software. it was quite entertaining to listen to this fervid speaker. finally richard sang the free software song. though i thoughti have a quite good understanding of open source, i did not know this one. it was great! :D

in the next days i will present some campaings by the fsf in detail.
