What's this all about?

Well, the aim of the LinuxDays is to promote and support the 
Open Source & Free Software movement. The basic idea of 
Open Source & Free Software is that developers around the 
world distribute, modify and test their software via the Internet, 
resulting in products often exceeding the quality of commercial software. 
The power and cumulated knowledge of the Open Source & Free Software Community 
ensures that new features are implemented very quickly and that bugs are 
fixed the moment they are discovered. The fact that Free Software and 
most Open Source Software are freely available on the Internet and that their 
use doesn't require any licenses certainly was for something in the success 
the concept knows nowadays.

Linux is probably the best known example. Linux is the commonly used name of 
the whole platform based on a GNU/Linux operating system and providing 
Free and Open-Source Software packages. The GNU project was originally 
developed by Richard M. Stallman in the eighties. 
The Linux kernel (a Free Software UNIX kernel clone), was originally 
developed by Linus Torvalds in the nineties.
