What this section is

The scope of this section is to offer divulging material regarding a very positive aspect the Web is bringing to everybody. This great positive aspect is that you can count on programs, images, sounds, books and many other resources to build upon, share, explore and grow, for free. This is happening thanks to a growing number of volunteer steered projects around the world (you could also get involved in several ways).

What audience is this section for

This section is intended for new and intermediate users even though we often inform about advanced programs or projects. In other words, this section is intended for people who don't know about free and open resources as well as for people who want know more and deepen. As a general rule we try to avoid many technical definitions and our web site itself has a simple structure.

Some examples : We know about some school teachers that have been getting in touch with us just because they wanted an cheap but complete solution to work at home (something like Open Office). Many people still don't know at all about the many flavors of Linux . They feel confused. They think those operating systems are for for technicians!. There are also many Mac Os users that still think they're far from using free and open software.

As you can easily imagine, our directory can't be complete, even though we're doing our best; the amount of information we've got in front of us is enormous. So what you see here is just a good starting point for you to dive into these possibilities.

What criterion is used

When it comes to software this section and our entire site is focused on informing about those than can be used on Windows®and Macintosh® systems. Why? Because we aim to spread the word about the open and free resources you already have near you. If you wanted a whole free and open system the best you can do is start using Linux (which, depending on what you plan to do with your system, is what we recommend) and for that there are hundreds of sites willing to tell you the good of the Linux operating system and all the programs you could have at your reach (!!)
