WFTL Bytes!

About this original series

Welcome to WFTL Bytes!, your occasiodaily FOSS news show featuring the latest Linux and FOSS-related news as delivered by your host, Marcel Gagné. That would be me. WFTL Bytes! is a fast, fun, occasionally a bit goofy, but always informative look at technology news and events as seen from a free and open source software (aka FOSS) perspective. This, of course, includes Linux and everything that that orbits it. Watch! Enjoy! And please, comment on the stories. I want to know what you think and what you've got to say, either about the show in general, the topics covered, of the stories themselves.Tell all your friends, relatives, your Tweets, Facebook friends . . . tell everybody!
