Well, I haven't joined any local group of such subjects yet. You know what? I
haven't even joined a local group of any subject.
I would like to join/make a local group about free software (as you already
know, which is different from open source software in philosophy) and free
culture (which is different from the shared culture in philosophy). The group
would actually get involved in a mix of projects, probably organized in
subgroups.
So far, only one of my friends actually supports the statements made in the
above paragraph, his brother went out from an open source community for a
reason not yet known by myself, but yet, his brother is the one who
introduced my friend to this concepts (free software, open source software,
free culture, and shared culture).
I've been thinking about creating this kind of group in the faculty which I
attend, the problem is that it has no courses entirely related to computing
subjects, although it has some disciplines (academic meaning, please). Also,
since I'm attending the course of administration (of people), I'm not sure if
the course coordinator agrees with the creation of the group, specially
because, despite the fact that he's graduated in computer science, he
participated in some open source projects but left them. According to the
course coordinator, "the open source software community doesn't have software
for more specific uses" (I don't know of such specific uses, sorry).
Also, a new course will be opened next year in the faculty which I attend,
it's the course of information systems, but my parents want me to finish the
course which I'm attending first, which, by the time of this post, will take
more four years, if all the disciplines (academic meaning too) are attended
each business day of the week.
Best regards, ADFENO.
Have a nice day.
