Hey there
feels really great to be able to voice my opinions freely upon various things especially on open source (one thing I am really passionate about).
Wouldn't it be great if you had the freedom to use technology just as the freedom of speech/ the right to expression?
That is exactly what open source is all about - the right to use technology for development and personalised experience of various applications.
This means -> with the Open source software you could use, change, and improve the software, and redistribute it in modified or unmodified form.
Open source software is the most prominent example of open source development and often compared to user generated content.It is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner.
With proponents such as The Mozilla Foundation and Debian project the open source software movement has gained the much needed momentum.
The well known product of The Mozilla foundation is the Firefox web browser.
The Firefox browser has attracted wide user participation so much so that it has a community for constant development and support.It would only help get a more personalized experience if users such as you and I get involved in the community.
I would like to add that you dont need to have a technical background to participate in the open source initiative.You could join the mozilla community and help spread firefox by becoming a campus rep or by starting an open source club in your community.
Did you know?
You could promote Firefox in your campus and help spread Firefox as a Campus Rep. Details on how you could do it are here:
-> By becoming a Mozilla Campus Rep you get a cool t-shirt and a certificate that you could add to your resume.
-> You might as well be selected for an internship as a recognition of your efforts to promote mozilla firefox.
Start right now............Go to:
1.GET Firefox...2.Get involved ............. and GO Fox today!
