Remember to FLOSS Daily

| FLOSS is a disruptive technology - change in what had become a static world.
| Change is always disruptive. Look at the impact of automobiles on society. Or
| aircraft, or computers. Society seems to go through periods of change,
| followed by a plateau of status quo. So, we’ve had a period of status quo
| with computer programs that were “owned” by corporations, and the use of them
| was sold to the public. In fact, it’s gotten so bad that software is even
| being patented - a very questionable practice considering that software is
| actually mathematics applied very quickly. And the quickly is due to
| hardware, as much or more than it is due to software.

Canadian Greens add FOSS to election platform
,----[ Quote ]
| Thanks to a founding member of Free Geek Vancouver, the Green Party of Canada
| has quietly become the first major political party in Canada to make support
| for free and open source software (FOSS) part of its election platform. Like
| officials in the Green Party of England and Wales, deputy leader Adriane Carr
| sees the move as compatible with basic Green ideas, but IT consultant Neil
| Adair also points out the move serves the practical purpose of helping the
| party match the technical resources of more established parties.
