Both Richard Stallman, GNU founder and Free Software Fundation president, and Marcelo d’Elia Branco, Free Software leader in Brasil are two examples of leaders working hard for Free Software to succeed.
Today we talked with them about Software as a Service, Cloud Computing and the eyeOS Project. It’s great to see how two of the most important people on Free Software are worried about Cloud Computing as big companies are trying to present. This, and Marcelo’s comments on eyeOS must encourage every eyeOS member to continue fighting.
Cloud Computing will be one of the most important topics for next year. It will be a long fight where we’ll be defending eyeOS, the Free Software alternative to those services where the user needs to send the data to third parties, and there will be amazing new projects competing directly with almost any eyeOS application. But for sure we’ll be there with one of the most solid products. And together, we’ll build the Free Software reference on Cloud Computing desktops and apps, where the user can host eyeOS on his own server easily.
very interesting talk you’ve got with those two big Guns of the free software community !
cheers
