Klaus Advanced Computing Building, room 2456
So you’ve heard about open-source software before but you don’t know much about it. Or maybe you are familiar with it, but because you learned about it through a crazy bearded zealot, you aren’t interested. The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate the superiority of the open-source software model and display the numerous frustrating drawbacks of the closed-source model, mainly by example. Because of the nature of what will be presented, the talk will also serve as a good introduction to how to use Linux. Fair coverage will also be given to the sometimes entertaining problems with open-source software. In the end, my hope is that you will see the nature of what will be presented, the talk will also serve as a good introduction to how to use Linux. Fair coverage will also be given to the sometimes entertaining problems with open-source software. In the end, my hope is that you will see the presentation should also give you more anti-corporation zealot fodder. Fun for the whole family!
