FLOSS: Background and Theory
To better appreciate your software and how the world of FLOSS (Free, Libre, Open Source Software) works - in development, support, communities, and so on - it helps to have some understanding of its background, its theoretical underpinnings and how it works in practise. The following links are a start to help get you towards that better understanding.
- The Principle of Free Software
- Essays on the Philosophy of Free Software
- opensource.org
- The Cathedral and the Bazaar - An example of how FLOSS works in practise
- Fundraising Software - Open Source Fundraising Software
- Wikipedia, 'Linux'
- The Halloween Documents - What Microsoft thought about FLOSS...behind closed doors. Some of the beliefs that non-Linux computer users have about Linux are traceable to Microsoft's campaigns against Linux, which promoted much information that has been discredited. This site provides some insight into how anti-Linux advocacy works.
