mercedo's Journal: Movement To OSS

While I was visiting another site, I got curious in this movement. The movement is not big enought to change the current map but certainly the movement has already started. I am talking about the OSS -open source software.

Here in Slashdot, many journals are dedicated to OSS, I've got to spend another three days to read.
