OPEN & FREE IMAGES

- since 24 Dec 2005 -

Yaop refreshment !

 

Nowadays we have a huge amount of software, books, articles, videos, music, images, etc, that we could use for free, and still many people don't know about it. We call all this open & free resources (free as in freedom) and is the result of the effort coming from many projects (open & free projects), which represent by now a real cultural movement that is involving the whole planet in many areas.

Yaop! aims to inform about these resources, emphasizing what all this means for education (rather than for information) and for its future. To accomplish this goal, we publish information about the open projects we get to know from around the world, giving a short description of each one.

But Yaop! itself is an open & free project and as such it offers an always growing high quality photographs collection, doing this way its own cultural contribution.

So, go ahead and see how you can take advantage of these resources!
