About this episode

Welcome to the Open Source community. There is free exchange of information and commonly freely priced programs available at your fingertips. We discuss some of our most commonly used open source programs and the advantages of using open source software. Speaking of open source community, we will be at the Ohio Linux Fest at the Columbus Convention Center on October 11. Come see us there! We'll be sporting Wide Open Mind shirts, so it should be easy to find us. Also, let us know of the open source programs that you rely on for your computer savvy needs. Inform us: What are some open source programs that you would recommend that you have found useful.Important links from the show: Acer Aspire One - Our little one runs Linux Time Lapse Video of Slime MoldWikipedia article - extensive list of open source alternative to proprietary software OSalt.com is another great resource for discovering open source alternatives Programs mentioned on the show: the GimpInkscapeBlenderImagemagickFilezillaCyberduckFirefoxOpen OfficePDF CreatorFinally, we would like to acknowledge Donnie Hoyle and "You Suck at Photoshop" for his inspiration for our "Grokking the Gimp" segment.
