Recently I watched a film that really got me thinking about my computer and the software I run on it. The film was called Revolution OS and is about the free software movement, Linux and open source. For a few years now I have been a user of open source software e.g. Firefox being the most well known.
Although I have never actually used the source code to make any changes and I've never been invloved in the improvement of any piece of open source software by contributing myself, I really like the idea that the opportunity is there.
I've been thinking more and more about this and I may even start up a seperate blog to post about this. Until I decide, here's a good site to get into some of the programs available for Mac computers (my computer of choice). Visit Open Source Mac.
