A Brief History: 35 Years of Open Source Software

• alexkay 16y ago
  Great, a post about open source which requires proprietary software (flash) to view it⸮​ Why not just link to a PDF file with slides?

    Cause it is on slideshare, and has audio.

    With other video formats on the horizon it probably won't be too much longer before reliance upon proprietary video codecs is a thing of the past.

    PDF and rough MP3 recording up here: http://people.debian.org/~francois/nzcs/ http://people.debian.org/~francois/nzcs/ The video should be available from http://www.innovation.org.nz http://www.innovation.org.nz at some point.

    It is only Free Software proponents that advocate for a world without proprietary software, which will never happen. Until HTML5 becomes more mainstream (e.g. IE9 released and with good market-share), Flash is the best option you have for audio/video.

  Oh? Where did "free" get lost?
