The FISL (Fórum Internacional de Software Livre) is celebrating its 10th edition this year in Porto Alegre, Brasil, with more than 7100 people coming to this edition , and dedicating this edition to Freedom in Internet as main topic around Free, Open Source software and philosophy. Richard Stallman, founder of GNU, and Peter Sunde, founder of ThePirateBay are two examples of leaders being here to explain their point of views of Freedom in Free Software and Internet, which sometimes is clearly attacked.

The eyeOS Project is also here and we’ll be talking about Freedom, Free Software and Cloud Computing today. It’s a great opportunity to stop for a moment and see what’s going on in the Cloud Computing market. Every day new Cloud services are appearing, most of them with complicated EULA’s and TOS’ that we must accept in order to use them. One of the few ways of fixing this is with Free Software, having the control over both the software and the data which is inside. We’re exactly there, creating the Free Software Cloud Computing desktop as an alternative to dozens of “free” services where the only price to pay is our data.

For those of you being here, you’re invited to our presentation today at 11am. See you there!
