Open Source IS Free Software
It is mostly “open source” on the other side of the Atlantic, and may become “free software” depending to whom you’re talking to. It becomes FOSS or even FLOSS as you fly east, and pass through the old continent. In Turkey you come accross with people calling it “open source” in Turkish (açık kaynak), “free…

don’t forget: there’s a new Pardus in town…
Pardus is a unique distribution which has its own solutions which work very well. I think that the distribution deserves far greater renown than it has currently and if it keeps up such innovation and quality, it’ll be an important player in the category of extensive desktop distributions. gözden geçirmenin tümü burada // the review…

Draft for GPL v3 is out…
The 3rd discussion draft of the GNU General Public License version 3, which have been worked on for a while, have been published on Free Software Foundation web site. As I expressed before, I don’t think that a license text can solve all the problems related to the freedom of software. Neither I think is…

Pardus Ideas for Google Summer of Code 2007
This year we have decided to participate to Google Summer of Code and completed our application as of yesterday. Our in-house developers have come out with a number of very nice project ideas, which are good-to-have features in Pardus, either based on Pardus technologies or very closely related to the ease-of-use design goal we have.…

il y a un nouveau Pardus en ville
Pardus est une distribution très intéressante. Elle a été bien conçu et vient avec un excellent choix logiciel. Peu, nombreux, les logiciels offerts sont d’une grande qualité et les versions utilisés sont très récentes.

Richard Stallman gave his keynote speech in the Free Software World Conference in Badajoz. The speech was in Spanish, and I was not in the main hall during, so I don’t know about his speech. But I went in for the question & answer part, to see whether there will be an interesting debate going…

off to badajoz!
I’m leaving for Badajoz (here in GoogleEarth) in a couple of hours. I’ll be doing few things there: First I’ll be on duty for the IDABC Open Source Software Event 2007, where representatives from several EU countries discuss the first results for the Open Source Repository (OSOR) project. Then, I’ll attend the third Free Software…

who’s this new pardus in town?
Thanks to the ever-growing success of Pardus 2007 around the globe, we were somewhat pushed into forming an English-speaking planet under pardus.org.tr. I thought it might be a wise idea to toss in a semi-official history of Pardus project for general use. It, inevitably, includes some side info regarding the goals of the project and…
