There
obsolete patterns die hard, and often the hopes of many will die with them. Proof of this are some political and religious movements. There are also many other examples, but here I will talk about a success story that man is starring in his evolution as a social being.
Today the dynamics of ideas that emerge each day are based on past experience, sometimes you just copied, sometimes modified to look like new, it happens a lot in the art.
Pero entre todos los movimientos hay uno que está marcando una línea eficiente, ligera y enriquecedora: el SOFTWARE LIBRE.
Y en este movimiento modelo de otros muchos todo se vertebra a partir de un eje principal: la COMUNIDAD.
Pero el proceso no termina ahí. Cada una de las comunidades a su vez interacciona con el resto formando una COMUNIDAD GLOBAL DEL SOFTWARE LIBRE donde se implican cada día muchos millones de personas en un proceso mundial donde la riqueza se reparte de forma dinámica en torno al CONOCIMIENTO SOLIDARIO. No olvidemos que el Conocimiento es el principal factor de riqueza en los pueblos del Siglo XXI. En este sentido hay que reconocer que toda la fuerza and gained momentum in recent years is due to an ecosystem without whom none of this would have been possible: INTERNET.
I personally participated in the Community Asturix where I learned to respect and breathe the very essence of free software, a community where doors are always open and no limits. In fact, the main constant is the genuine participation and interaction of its members to the extent of their capabilities, regardless of age, or knowledge, no language problems or any obstacle that can not be overcome without political or components, or religious or other similar systems of labels. Seems utopian, but is a authentic reality that excites those who see as the community grows and becomes stronger and we all grow with it. Whether we want to count it and give it to all those who are needed. Certainly we need teachers, lawyers, designers, translators, technicians, sound and image, communication specialists, users, ... all are needed in an ecosystem where everyone can learn from everyone.
Increasingly, large companies now rely on ideas and innovation of open source software communities to remain competitive. More than forty million developers from twelve to eighty years each day interacting with various communities in a frantic interplay of knowledge where the difficulty is finding something new that is not developed. A clear example is the explosion of Android Market.
Another testimony is the set of Linux distributions that every day thousands of tools improve, the approach of the end-user friendly way and innovate at a rate unimaginable a few years ago.
But this system is threatened. This model has been adapted to social behavior and communication has emerged as the main weapon citizen and this is getting nervous with the big powers. First Wekeleaks and now revolution in some oppressed peoples are rushing measures are aimed to "control" means to facilitate these phenomena (internet). Thanks to Wekeleaks all citizens know better every day reality that previously supposed. Now, the Community of Communities can say that is the guarantor of freedom of expression, the main arm of global citizenship in a proxy war looming between these patterns out of date but very powerful and a citizenry that feels stronger and united than ever against oppression and corruption.
For over who insist on defining some foreign words (like "Internet") those who use the Internet, citizens use it, or the majority. And is that those politicians who use the Internet as a pure means of low cost marketing for your campaign, do not they can be called also "Internet"? the same laws as the famous "Sin ..." have demonstrated a clear act dictator against the people's will and the Courts unusual contempt by the public.
The key is in the Information Technology and Communications, and these technologies should be a World Heritage Site and that is just what advocates and builds each day INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY FREE SOFTWARE , a clear example of the dignity of human beings as social and solidarity.
