Extra Benefits (beyond Nothing to pay!) Source Code - What benefit ? Drawbacks & how to avoid them. Free Software Systems : Linux & BSD Unix etc. 17,000 Free Pre Integrated Packages ! Who Uses & Supports Free Software ? Support available: Local Groups, consultancy, services. Start saving money, reducing risk & development time. #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- %page # Page 11 %center FREE ! WHY ? - HOW ? %left Yes, No speakers need any Microsoft or Power Point Though we can generate & display .pps format too. We are all running Free Software You are welcome to Free Legal Copies Of base operating system & all programs ! Presentation software today includes Magic Point - Can use a plain text editor. Open Office - Supports power point, Runs on Unix & Microsoft. # http://openoffice.org Mozilla & XPDF & others available but likely not used. # JJLATER without size 6 it comes out too small - Why ? %size 6 Why Is So Much Free ? Sponsored by US government, spin offs given to tax payer. Many like writing & giving away programs, Fun & Fame. # & they code interesting things at night, not boring stuff for boss. Students authoring packages find jobs easier. Sponsoring: Students : Google, & Java : Sun, X-Windows... Cost effective for workers to get patches in free releases. #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- %page # Page 12 %center WHY DUMP MICRO$OFT ? %leftfill # Could be a talk in itself, a few points: Expensive - Regularly ! - cumulative cost of MS licences. Fined by European Union (Monopoly regulations). Viruses, Other Security Concerns. Deprives intelligent users of control: Dumbed down design becomes impenetrable magic. Even intelligent users forced to desperately click around. No (non binary) test configuration (registry) files one can inspect & edit. Can not check if security leaks/ holes to Redmond, CIA, NSA. No source to enhance. Fixing urgent bugs beats filing a report. Word docs held previous revisions inside, eg Customers could see previous cheaper draft prices in a tender. XP --> Vista More licence money. More bloat. More disc & RAM & CPU needed. More Hollywood rights management. Is that in _Your_ interest ? Or for MS ? 98 --> XP: People dumped working scanners to buy new with XP drivers XP --> Vista: Printers without drivers. (drivers rarely dumped in Free world). #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- %page # Page 13 %center WHERE FREE SOFTWARE IS COST EFFECTIVE %leftfill For skilled users wanting control, freedom & security. For engineers wanting to embed free mature tested code. Where many workers run the same basic common tools, MS licence fees in bulk, & for upgrades get Expensive. ROI (Return On Investment) under 2 years ! Very Good ! No other elective investment project could repay all costs so quickly. Venture capitalist do not hope for full return in under 2 years ! Upgrade licence fees to MS for ever ? or retrain for Unix - once ! LIMUX project costed in well under 2 years, (Though it stretched a bit). %font "thick" Final report for European Commission: %cont, font "standard" November 20, 2006: %size 3 Economic impact of open source software on innovation \ and the competitiveness of the Information and Communication \ Technologies (ICT) sector in the EU. %center, fore "blue", font "typewriter", size 3 # # If font is too big, thus line too long, eg by # %size 5 # it loops forever with: # using xftfont [helvetica:] size: 27 # & page with next line never displays. # Yoshifumi's fix of Thu, 31 May 2007 02:37:36 +0900 (JST) solves it. # http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/ict/policy/doc/2006-11-20-flossimpact.pdf %leftfill, fore "black", font "standard" # Summary (by Emil): # Summary: Investments in Open Source solutions are protected in # long-term period (compared to closed solutions) and that # it has a major impact on the development of the IT sector # (With leading position in the market share of several # sub-sectors like web-servers, operating systems, etc.) # Additionally the document makes it clear that EU wants to # differentiate itself from US thinking and try to push open # alternatives as a competitive advantage. %size 4 Summary: Investments in Open Source protected in \ long-term & major impact on IT sector \ (With leading position in \ sub-sectors like web-servers, operating systems, etc.) \ EU wants to differentiate from US & push Open Source \ as a competitive advantage. #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- %page # Page 14 %center SOURCE CODE - WHAT USE ? %left Mature code can be embeded in development hardware. On workstations with Source you gain a choice: Check sources for suspicions & see if unfounded. Fix simple urgent bugs in house. Contract externals to fix complex urgent bugs/ extensions. Feed back extensions to next release if you want. Report a bug & wait for next release. Binary from Microsoft offers no choice: You can not check what code does. You must wait. You can not fix it. You can not pay anyone except Microsoft to fix, (if they want to). It may not be fixed in next release. #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- %page # Page 14PLUS1 %center WHY SOURCE CODE IF NOT COMPILING YOURSELF ? %left # Not all have time/ skill/ interest/ to personally compile all source, # but still know having source freelay available is sensible, Why ? Purchase Price Zero on derived binaries. Net download now. Colleagues can use immediate legal free copies. No shop wait. 16,000 packages, mostly free, many not on MS. 24/7 Support - Global free support mail lists. Sleep while others solve your posted question, even at weekends Global commercial consultants, competing to offer support, (not just Microsoft who may not consider it a priority, and who got biggest ever EU fine for monopoly). Clarity: Source is the ultimate documentation. Less Viruses or no viruses (Linux or BSD depending), Code is public, loopholes exposed & fixed. Using Open Source shows initiative. #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- %page # Page 15 %center DRAWBACKS %leftfill A few niche applications are not yet supplied, eg maritime navigation. Most of what you need is free. 18,607 (@2008.06) mostly free packages on FreeBSD (more than Linux!). # http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html You need a tool to even search such a list. Yes we have indexer tools. Marc's presentation has more package info. # ' bracket matcher Still need Microsoft for those ? No problem : Next Slide. Parasitic Software Patents - A topic on its own! no time! A lurking threat, troubling mostly big[ger] companies. A few programmers problematic in own free time: They have no salary & boss to force politeness. You may very occasionally see harsh flame mail by one of a few. Technically gifted, brittle communicators. Small price for good code. Commercial consultants can shield one from uneven free support.

Try BSD or Linux on a disc-less boot CDROM. Shrink Micro$oft partition (tools on FreeBSD CDROM) Still run old programs you have not used free replacements for yet, Install a BSD / or Linux on one of 4 boot disc partitions. Install same Mozilla & Open Office etc on BSD / Linux.

OpenBSD - If security is important above all else. DesktopBSD & PC-BSD - FreeBSD variant for new users. DragonFlyBSD - Research variant on FreeBSD Linux - Many Free & Commercial variants exist. Typically companies add a licence encumbered installer etc. Debian: Free. The developers central Linux. Ubuntu: Free. Ask Bernhard. Suse: Not Free. Nurnberg. Red Hat: Not Free. USA. Fedora: Free More every day, magazines provide roll your own release kits ! Developer interfaces changed with less restraint - Bad ! More support for brand new hardware than BSD. #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- %page # Page 19 %center NON BSD & LINUX FREE BASE SYSTEMS %leftfill Sun Solaris - Free & Commercial - Home of Java.
