SCALE4x, Los Angeles 2006: Attack of the Corporate Coders? (FedoraNews)
Oisin Feeley
covers
the SCALE4x conference on FedoraNews.
"But there was a dearth of strong voices advocating the importance of Freedom and Openness. A prevalent (although minority) voice was one of expedience and collusion with one of the main causes of the retarding of software development: proprietary hardware and software. This was expressed both by the first keynote speaker who confessed honestly that she didn't know the difference between free beer and free speech, and by Novell's beautiful demonstration of Xgl which is currently limited to proprietary nVidia hardware."

Hm, but free software developers too! Posted Feb 24, 2006 7:01 UTC (Fri) by gvy (guest, #11981) [Link] Curtis Olson of FlightGear project has published the photos of 747 cockpit running FG with some additional code.It's actually most interesting not when some 1337 |<0d4z do something funky but when pros in some life area create software to accomodate to their needs and thoughts -- not "software for software", like "industry for industry" or "fighting for peace", but the one in need. Or so I think.
