These days, more and more computing is being moved away from user computers to the so-called "cloud" – a vague term often used to refer to Software as a Service (SaaS) [1] offerings. We are concerned that, without the needed care, this trend might put in jeopardy most of the freedoms that users enjoy when running (on their computers) software that is Free according to the Debian Free Software Guidelines [2]. 1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_as_a_service </pre> Francesca Ciceri 2012-04-25T17:41:02 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user.news/474 <pre>------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Debian Project http://www.debian.org/ Debian Project News debian-publicity&lt; at &gt;lists.debian.org April 16th, 2012 http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2012/08/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to this year's eight issue of DPN, the newsletter for the Debian community.
