Video: Why Free Software Matters
Posted in Critique, Free and Open Source Software, Multimedia Entry, Politics, Ubuntu, Video Entry on February 28th, 2011 by doctormoThis is my response to some very good comments on my last video entry which I felt should be addressed with another vlog entry.
I’ve attempted to explain why Free Software is politically important, as much as open source is important to creators; we must be supportive of Free Software for user reasons and not just consider our own hacker culture issues.
Video Problems: Go directly to the video on blip.tv here and download the source mp4 here.
Personal: The reason for begging your indulgence with the video blogs is that I’m inspired to practice my speaking skills in order to further eliminate my stammer. From a young age I was bullied and called names and I have gotten much better since, but seeing The Kings Speech really brought it all back for me.
