Well hello world, Monday December 26th and I am making this series, I think five podcasts
|
||
|
|
about free software, what about it, where is it going, what's my take on it, and this
|
||
|
|
is the first podcast representation so hello I am Spaceman.
|
||
|
|
I have been using new Linux for over nine years, four years as a everyday user, just using
|
||
|
|
an interface, running programs, doing my everyday life stuff, and five years as a programmer.
|
||
|
|
So basically I am creating this series and I really hope the free software foundation
|
||
|
|
is going to listen to it.
|
||
|
|
I do believe I have some inputs to give as a user and as an advanced user as a programmer.
|
||
|
|
The first thing I want to say here is that in 1983 when you are just almost started
|
||
|
|
writing free software, a new project, there was a software problem, there were actually
|
||
|
|
no holy free system out there.
|
||
|
|
And now today we have free software for virtually anything, with processor, Skype replacement
|
||
|
|
web browsers, you name it, whatever software you want, there's this free software for
|
||
|
|
it.
|
||
|
|
So the issue that I am going to be talking about through all of those podcasts is how do
|
||
|
|
we reach the user, and when I say user what I am going to be referring is the everyday
|
||
|
|
user, your mom, your dad, your grandparents, my grandfather uses new Linux, how do these
|
||
|
|
people can start using free software because this is the issue of today.
|
||
|
|
How do we get everyone to use it?
|
||
|
|
How do we get everyone to stop going on Windows and Apple and how do we get them to just
|
||
|
|
switch over to new Linux, don't get me wrong, free software is still need to be developed.
|
||
|
|
It's just normal, but that being said I really believe that the main focus of today should
|
||
|
|
be how can we attract more users and not develop more free software because we can function
|
||
|
|
now with free software, yeah this is only to be developed, yes, but you get my point.
|
||
|
|
So hopefully you listen to all of those, this is a series and they are going to be uploaded
|
||
|
|
to the hacker public radio website.
|
||
|
|
So make sure you check it up or whatever you can always find me on a load average.org
|
||

slash the basement one.
