Under construction!

We are a group of free software advocate hobbyist programmers who make cool
stuff. Our goal with this project is to work together to make good software that
at least we want to use. Currently, our plans are a bit muddy, and given that we
all have busy lives, progress may be slow for the forseeable future. Check back
every once in a while and see what’s changed!

> Signing a typical software license agreement means betraying your neighbor: “I
> promise to deprive my neighbor of this program so that I can have a copy for
> myself.” People who make such choices feel internal psychological pressure to
> justify them, by downgrading the importance of helping one's neighbors—thus
> public spirit suffers. This is psychosocial harm associated with the material
> harm of discouraging use of the program.

Richard Stallman, Why Software Should be Free, “Damaging Social Cohesion”, para.
2–3

The Free Software Foundation and Stallman are responsible for the GNU General
Public License family of licenses, which are strong copyleft licenses that
protect the freedom of software covered by them.

Our Network was originally intended to facilitate and spread that spirit of
sharing, cooperation, and solidarity by providing to members firm foundations of
support. Unfortunately, because of the way the Tebibyte Media community came to
fruition, it wasn’t the best idea for us. You can read more here.


DONATE

Tebibyte Media's infrastructure is maintained by a few individuals who work on
it in their spare time. As a result, funding is tight, so any donations are
highly appreciated. Donations are accepted through Liberapay and Open
Collective.


READING LIST

Richard Stallman – ­Free Software, Free Society [PDF] As the de-facto leader of
the free software world and the founder of the Free Software Foundation, RMS has
written a number of works. These are not limited to free software; though, of
course, that is what he is known for. This book is an accumulation of the most
important of his writing. Eric S. Raymond – The Cathedral and the Bazaar [XHTML]
Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow. In his critique of the
“cathedral-builder style” of software development, ESR covers the importance of
the practical principles behind free software [1] development. Eric S. Raymond –
The Art of Unix Programming [HTML] You should read this book if you are a Unix
user with novice-level up to middle-level skills in the operating system, but
little development experience, and want to learn how to design software
effectively under Unix. This book contains information about the Unix Philosophy
and culture [1]. Daniel Stenberg – Uncurled [HTML] Stenberg’s guide to
developing free software [1] projects focuses on the less-obvious aspects of the
process—for example, the section entitled “Your project” covers the difficulties
of starting itself.

[1] This piece refers to free software as “open source”.
