  • From Free Software to Hardware

    In order to use free software successfully, we need more free (free as in freedom) hardware available. Because the computer industry requires lots of funds/investments into hardware design, many companies unfortunatelly mostly try to make their hardware proprietary. Therefore making it difficult for free software to run on them without restrictions. Here are some links…

  • Trisquel GNU/Linux

    I set up two new software mirrors. One being GNU Linux-Libre kernel, a project to maintain and publish 100% Free distributions of Linux, suitable for use in Free System Distributions. Second being the ISO mirror for Trisquel GNU/Linux distribution. Both mirrors are located in California, United States. Server space is kindly sponsored by Laszlo.

  • May 4th, International Day Against DRM

  • Richard M. Stallman in Ljubljana

    On Saturday 21th of April, Richard M. Stallman, the founder of Free Software Foundation visited Slovenia and held an excellent lecture about “Copyright versus Community in the Age of Computer Networks” (videorecording here) at the Museum of Modern Art. I admire/respect the work that he has done over so many years in promoting and battling for the Free…
