Since this is the first edition of new 'Computing Our Liberty' monthly 'look-back commentary and announcements article' I would first like to introduce you to it. The idea is to *compute* our computing liberties as they were the past month time and as they are now. This means that we will review and comment major free software related events happening last month and their impact on our computing freedoms, that is, mainly our software freedoms. We will talk about power, justice, moral, irony, comedy, facts, FUD and other more or less disturbing things about events from within the turbulent world of computing.
"So where do we start? Maybe by making out a picture of the IT world as it looks like today. And indeed it looks very colorful..."
