Melbourne was a good place to be this week - particularly for those
lucky enough to hear Charles Leadbetter talk
about his book
We-think at the State Library of Victoria. Thinking
about organisation and action without organisations was interesting,
as well as the advice to constantly ask the question "Is there an
open source way of doing this?" He summed up by affirming that
being open is good for democracy, is good for equality and is good for
freedom. Inspirational stuff.
It would be good to still be there today to celebrate Software Freedom Day with
Brianna (Wikimedia), Kathy
Reid and Gerry White.
Plenty of other activity around the
world too

Software Freedom Day seems a perfect time to think of and thank those
freedom fighters who have inspired us.
