Post by EdmundNo idea what FOSS is other then yet again another abbreviation. :-)
In defense of abbreviations;
- this is a linux group, and even 'beyond' linux I would have assumed
that 'everyone' (everyone is never everyone just like never is almost
never never) knew FOSS
- FOSS = free and open source software, where the meaning of 'free' is
libre
- I'm someone who uses 'specific' abbreviations 'all the time' having
their meaning defined in the same 'visual' context where the 'expanded'
abbreviation is visible in the same context, eg using the initials of a
familiar or recent msg poster eg BA could = Big Al
- if you don't recognize some abbreviation, particularly if you wish
there were less of them, you should learn how to find out what one
means, ranging from checking the wp to using a dictionary of acronyms
and abbreviations
