Howdy all,
On last week's Byte Into It on 3RRR radio, we discussed the following
topics of relevance to software freedom:
* There may be hope for Net Neutrality yet, with the United States
Congress considering a Bill to prevent ISPs from blocking,
restricting, or favouring any particular online video providers.
* Happy Birthday to the Fedora Project free-software operating system,
which is ten years old, and is about to release Version 20.
* Infromation continues to trickle from the negiotiations for the
Trans-Pacific Partnership, which points to a bleak future for
consumers.
* BitCoins continue to develop popularity - on November 13 a BitCoin
would set you back $400, and by November 20, that same BitCoin was
worth $555.20.
* Dr Rikky Muller of Cortera Neurotechnologies joins the team to
discuss her fascinating work designing devices aimed at treating
incurable neurological conditions.
On a similar topic, Karen Sandler of GNOME has identified the
need for software on medical devices to be free.
* Free Software Melbourne's Games Night, November 21, Level 1, RMIT
Building 91, 110 Victoria St, Carlton.
* Don't forget Digital Society featuring Cory Doctorow at the State
Library of Victoria, November 22-25.
