I’ve been enjoying strolling through the FLOSS Weekly archives; a collection of one-on-one interviews with key players in FLOSS. Here’s a quote that really speaks to why FLOSS is something to pay attention to:

“Free as in Freedom” is a really important concept. That is, technology really as to be free in some important ways if people are to have political freedom.

- Eben Moglen, speaking on the GPL version 3 during FLOSS Weekly interview.

XHTML: You can use these tags: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <code> <em> <i> <strike> <strong> , and <pre> should work, too. I usually put code examples in both <blockquote> and <pre>. Backslashes must be escaped (with another backslash). Angle brackets, etc. must be replaced with HTML-entities, even in code examples. For example: &lt; and &gt; for < and >.
