Woah! Hello everybody and welcome to FOSSwire. FOSSwire is a new blog about free and open source software.

That's a pretty big topic - so what exactly will we be focusing on? We're obviously going to leave room to expand into new subject areas as we grow a bit, but you can expect:

• Tutorials on using, administering and building free and open source software - from how to use Linux to how to build the next open source project!
• Introductions to free and open source software - the ethics and ideals behind it and clearing up the common myths (for the complete newbie!)
• Reviews of the latest free and open source software projects
• Tips and tricks to make your experience with free and open source software better
• Advocacy - how to spread the word about FOSS
