  1. Oh, if I could guarantee at least €750 per month in donations, I would happily quit my day job and devote myself full‑time to #FreeSoftware. I’d expand my current contributions to #Debian, #GNOME, #Ubuntu, #FDroid, and other projects that interest me but for which I currently have no spare time.

    Any ideas on how this could work for an individual developer stuck in Iran?

  30. @jon I liked the early web of course. I think I first got dial-up Internet connection about 1998/1999.
    I used Netscape and tried Opera when it used to have an ad bar. I used to use #KMart's Blue Light free dial-up service back when #NetZero was around. I started with a 28.8kbps modem. My mother had call waiting at the time so sometimes my connection would get interrupted which was fine. I bought Red Hat 5.2 for I think $12.

  35. @badrihippo @praveen @athulvis @double_a_runi @mostlyharmless @guusdk @fossunited @ravi @libreinator @sflcin @untrusem After lunch, we had Nishtha from the #amFOSS community talking about how to operate a successful student-run community. This was, incidentally, her first talk ever!

    During the questions session, we had a brief detour into debating the difference between #FreeSoftware and #OpenSource
