What is OSI?

http://www.opensource.org/

OSI is an abreviation for e Open Source Initiative. "Open source is a development method for software that harnesses the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process. The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in."

Open Source Software is more than just code. It is freedom. One of my favorite things to do is use Open Source Software and visit web sites that promote and develop such software.

My current list is: Gentoo Linux, Fedora Linux, Gimp, Blender, Imagemagik, php, mysql, Java (My favorite), gcc, html with css, Python, Open Office and Apache.
