Exciting times for FOSS!

Hello subscribers!

These are very exciting times for Free and Open Source Software!

A few days ago Linus Torvalds received a great sign of recognition for his work on the Linux  kernel, being one of the two laureates of the 2012 Millenium prize (see featured content in http://idilix.net). This recognition by a renowned institution helps not only to publicise Linux but also helps those who know about it to respect it's place among the other popular desktop operating systems. It's a prize to all the FOSS community!

Internet blackout day - January 18th 2012

Today many websites will go down as a protest against SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act).

 

Although stopping piracy may seem a good thing, SOPA/PIPA is planing to go much beyond that and build a censorship firewall. This is like forbidding the use of pens and paper because they could be used to write malicious messages.

 

Amazing 2011
