Blogs

General Free Software/Open Source Software

*Nixed Blog by Thomas Holbrook II details "Unix and the Overlooked Pop Culture" and where the two intersect (hint: They merge a lot more often than you might think). It's an insightful read by anyone's standard.

Hans Bezemer has a lot to say about FOSS computing -- much of it pretty insightful -- in his blog "The Beez' Speaks."

While Penny Leach of New Zealand describes herself as "just this girl, who lives in Wellington, works on open source web stuff and drinks too much," she also puts out a well-written blog about FOSS and the women who work with it, among other topics.

A man and his penguin: Christopher Lees outlines the adventures of running alternative operating systems (read GNU/Linux) on Macintosh PowerPC hardware, while releasing his own distro for the platform called Copland.

A self-described "FOSS zealot," Brenda Wallace has got gadgets and gizmos aplenty, whozits and whatzits galore. She covers a wide range of topics, most of which revolve around FOSS, and she has some pretty nifty photos, too.

Written from the hacker-in-training, geek-wannabe point of view, Larry the Free Software Guy presents a perspective on FOSS that comes from a digitally deprived journalist (it's the blogging nom-de-plume of OSR editor/publisher Larry Cafiero).

FOSDEM meeting

Stephane Corlosquet blogs about the recent FOSDEM meeting in Brussels.

Operating System Migration

Not Windoze outlines how the Microsoft monopoly works, and how you can avoid or escape it. It is written by Cameron Spitzer.
