Trying to restore these rolls of critical and non-critical to Microsoft, free software, and other stories, into something understandable, today I take the opportunity provided by the visit of Jon "Maddog" Hall at the Campus Party to get a video interview with a small .
Jon Hall (not John Hall, as some call it) is the president of Linux International, a non-profit association, not a company, which is responsible for promoting free software. A voice very authoritative and respected.
We put it for two reasons.
The first to the world that you are interested in this technology you can see and hear arguments on the use of free software.
The second shall see to it that those arguments, questionable or not, are very different from the typical one can be found at any blog.
There Manicheism in the words of Jon. Perhaps this wrong in some things, or maybe not. But his argument in favor of free software is always respectful. He says Microsoft is this or that, or your users or those which are. He says "I believe in this, and these are my reasons."
I keep my mind on what you said you hope that you can create your own, and if you are interested we can talk about it and discuss their arguments.
The questions that responded are:
Is there a business model for open-source software?
Like what?
Do you think that free software dominating the market?
Does Windows cease to spearhead sales in the market?
What recommends the government to improve public administration?
What is your vision?
And so to answer all of them.
A hug.
