FLOSS - Free/Libre Open Source Software
Rich Byrne, 1st Vice-President and past President of the New Jersey Computer Club, will lead our meeting. We will look at the concepts behind FLOSS , the type of free that is part of the definition (free as in beer and free as in speech). We will take a look at the World Wide movement toward Open source Software. We'll examine the consequences of the Open Source Movement and take a look at people behind the scenes. We can then take a look at the most popular open source software available for the Windows operating system including Mozilla, Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice.org, and The Gimp. Finally we will look at the contents of a bootable Linux disk from Knoppix (click on the English version) containing all of the above and much more. And it is all FREE.
