I like the gorilla tactics these students used to get faculty interested in Free Software.

Original Story

Currently I am planning a similar strike: Mass distribution of material and installation cd’s to learning institutions in Tijuana, BC MX.

The plan is simple, distribute to any willing High Schools and Collage Campuses, if you want to take part, please contact me.

GPLv3

“GPL version two has been used now for sixteen years. Over the years, we saw various reasons to change it. Two years ago, we decided it was time to start seriously working on this and get out a new version. We realized it would take time. I set aside several months to work on GPL version three in 2005, so as to prepare the first draft that was released in January 2006. We have just published the third discussion draft and we’ve decided to wait for sixty days and then prepare what we hope will be the final draft for the last bit of comments before the final draft.” ~RMS

I just read it and I must say, I like it.

I am still having some SIGHUP’s on some of the points of view my self but as soon as the final draft comes out I will be glad comment.

Fedup with that bloody NetworkManager or KDE’s WiFi flop?

Here, I made a couple of scripts for my laptop’s wireless that
just might help you out.

What do they do:

wqc (Wireless Quick Connect):

Will connect to a wireless network and store the configuration for future use.

Requires:

Will auto connect to any pre-configured ‘wqc’ wireless network available.
