Reading an email from the FSF, I started to think about what’s my own story with free software.

And… this is part of it.

I started with free software long time ago due to I am an IT worker… and I’m curious, and I always had a way of think that involves to share, to help, to love… the shared knowledge is bigger and better than a selfish one…

So I started with GNU/Linux… and from there with a whole universe of free software. In that moment mainly to develop software…

But I am also a Tango dancer, a stories writer (here four books for free, PDF, spanish), an actor, a radio speaker and producer, a Kung Fu instructor…

Free software helped me with all these activities…

to play music,

to record, edit and improve audio,

to record, edit and deliver audio and videos,

to write a lot of texts,

to create and deliver PDFs,

to create flyers,

to handle and edit images,

…

and for daily tasks: check emails, surf the web, watch movies, find recipes…

But the free software philosophy had went farther than this on me… share, collaborate, consider other’s ideas… and more… these stuff help me to build a better society… at least under my scope… which is not big, but that joined with other’s ones can create a better world…

Right now I’m using a GNU/Linux OS (Tanglu) and Firefox to write this post…
