As big a fan of open source software you might be surprised that I haven’t always believed in open source development model. I really liked the idea of free (as in no cost) software but I didn’t get the advantages of the freely distributable and alterable.

Well as time has gone on I saw the light (more on that later). Today I joined the advisory board for Software Freedom Day so hopefully you will join me for the celebration this coming Saturday.
