Huan "KDE Zealot" Truong a ?crit : > I don't know if you have Windows machines in AUF anymore, We still have but they are becoming very rare... There is 1 at CNF, but dedicated for a specific usage, and there is a last one at our main office which won't last past this year.
> but in case you do, showing Free Software runs just fine in Windows is good > too, Not IMO, especially not at AuF and not on an AuF computer. People will still be welcome if they bring their own MS-jail though... And I have no problem with _telling_ it can runs on MS-things too. But I would definitely be angry to see that thing running at AuF. > people don't get scared by having the impression "oh this program is cool but > looks like I have to do a lot of things to have it?" Yes. It's like getting a house or getting a car... You have to accept to change a lot of thing to get more freedom. Or you just keep lacking of freedom... Some people just prefer this way. > versus "ok... this program is cool, I'll copy this one to the usb flash drive > and I will try to install it on my computer as soon as I get home!" > Yep. We should have the Windows version somewhere, ready for copy, but from a Linux box (so we'll also be quite safe from their USB viruses). Note: I also produced a CD of French FLOSS used at AuF for years. But I also was remembering people that the goal of this CD was to get used to these softwares to ease their switch to Linux after some short time. > Even if the game runs on Windows only, as long as it's open source, and it is > fun, I don't think that is a limiting factor of the game. Notepad++ is > another example of that kind of an Open source Windows-only software. It > works, it works well and it is open source, so... we all promote using it. > No. Not all. Not me. I won't promote open-source softwares which don't want to be portable on multiple platform, especially open ones. But I agree to promote FLOSS that can run both on Windows and Linux, since this help in moving smoothly from the jail to the freedom! -- Jean Christophe "????" ANDR? ? ? ?
