FLOSSK

Posted by gent on 27 November 2010 in English.

The direct function of FLOSS Kosovo is the unselfish promotion of Free and Open Source Software and Knowledge as well as creating and propagating the awareness of the related philosophical and social questions.

The further mission of the FLOSS Kosovo is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally.

FLOSS Kosovo will provides the essential infrastructure and an organizational framework for the support and development of open knowledge and software projects and other endeavours which serve this mission. FLOSS Kosovo will make and keep useful information from its projects available on the Internet free of charge, in perpetuity.

The term Free and Open Source Software and Knowledge in the sense of the FLOSS does not refer to the price, but rather to the following four freedoms:

* the freedom to use a program and knowledge for any purpose
* the freedom to study the program and knowledge and adapt it to your own needs.
* the freedom to make copies for others.
* the freedom to improve a program and knowledge and make these improvements available to others, so that the whole community benefits.

This definition of Free Software goes back to the idea of freely exchanging knowledge and ideas that can traditionally be found in scientific fields. Like thoughts, software is non-tangible and duplicable without loss. Passing feeds an evolutionary process, advancing thoughts and software.
