Mash up - FOSS and HK in London

Posted On: Tue, 2006-09-12 21:24 by sitapatiShare

I wrote to my friend Sukanthi the other day to ask her how it's going with the Fedora operating system on her laptop (We loaded it on a few weeks before she left Australia), and to point her to the BBC documentary on Free Open Source Software, The Codebreakers [1] [2]. She had wanted to know more about the philosophical reasons for using FOSS. She is currently in Hungary and wrote me today:

There is a new Hare Krishna centre in London called Matchless gifts, they have free internet access for the under priviledged and they use Fedora. They also do yoga classes and kirtana nights and classes with prasad.

I took my mum there, it was cool, she was playing the drum and chanting Hare Krishna.

Someone blogged about it here

Update: I gave Matchless Gifts a call, and it turns out that they're using Ubuntu (which is what I thought they would / should be using). "Fedora" obviously represents GNU/Linux in my friend's mind.
