FSF Helps Launch Autonomo.us To Focus On Freedom In Network Services

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the save-the-intartubez-bumper-stickers-coming-soon dept.

mako writes "The FSF just announced the results of a meeting it held on software freedom and network services. They are hailing the launch of a new group called Autonomo.us to follow up on these issues and the publication of the Franklin Street Statement on Freedom and Network Services which lays out a set of recommendations and guidelines for protecting freedom for software as a service." Update 22:07 GMT by SM: Corrected language incorrectly crediting FSF with creating Autonomo.us.

    This group is seperate from the FSF.

    The FSF news story explains that.

    Since Network Services are now Free, my packets are insisting I ask if anyone can give them advice on how to unionize... they have T-shirts...

    Alaska based company Craptaculo.us is launching its website in a self-deprecating campaign against all websites which try to cleverly use the TLD suffix to create a new word. Craptaculo.us feels that del.icio.us is enough already, thank you.

    First on Craptaculo.us' radar are:

    http://fung.us/ - website about eating strange mushrooms and the wild tales that people share. eating mushrooms is bad.
    http://co.ck/ - needs no explanation
    http://gu.ru/ - complete lying bastards, they're not good at ANYTHING

    More to come.
