Definition of Irony

+

The actual meaning is the opposite of the literal meaning

+
+ +
+

Recursive Definition of Irony

+

The lemmings metaphor only works because people are lemmings in their adherence to the myth that lemmings are like lemmings.

+
+ +
+

This could never happen to us, right?

+

MySQL doesn't have transactions

+

MongoDB is Web Scale

Frequent password rotation is secure

sysvinit needs to be replaced

Four Freedoms

+

0 - to run the program as you wish, for any purpose

+

1 - to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish

+

2 - to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor

+

3 - to distribute copies of your modified version to others

+
+ +
+

GPL is anti-business

+
+ +
+

Except it isn't

Why is Free Software Important?

+ +
+

+

1985 - Apple's Lemmings Super Bowl Commercial

+

1997 - Apple's Think Different Campaign

+
+ +
+

Don't be a lemming

+
+ +
+

Everybody in this room is wearing a uniform and don't kid yourself

+

Frank Zappa

+
+ +
+

"Think Different" isn't about allowing for individualism, it's about defining an alternate tribe

+

And don't kid yourself, it's about selling product

+
+ +
+

What if you're this poor fellow?

+

How much of your life is computerized?

+

How many of the four freedoms do you have with each of those things?

+
+ +
+

superfish

+

My laptop did not come with any software pre-installed that is designed to "improve my shopping experience"

+

If it had, I am empowered to remove it

+

+ +
+

Why are we here? I think many people assume, wrongly, that a company exists solely to make money. Money is an important part of a company's existence, if the company is any good. But a result is not a cause. We have to go deeper and find the real reason for our being.

+

David Packard

+
+ +
+

Free Software is a way that I can make the world a better place

+
+ +
+

Free Software is a way to reconnect with our humanity in a sea of white privilege

+
+ +
+

Free Software drives an unprecedented amount of innovation

+
+ +
+

Believe you can change the world

+

David Packard

+

Thank you!
