Who Build FOSSContributed mostly by:
● Volunteer Community

Where it all begun:
○ 40 years back IBM was making first generation of computers and was making software bundle required to make it work.
○ It was free to users and it could be redistributed.○ In 1970 IBM Started to begin all the software code proprietary.
then....
Real Software movement● Richard Stallman a programmer from MIT
started GNU Project
● The aim of the project was to create a free operating system to share and edit.
How does it affect you and me...
● Most of the software today we use are proprietary (Games,Media Players,OS etc)● All the proprietary softwares are being paid!!● What about the people who cannot afford to purchase??
(Especiallythe countries where the basic eminity is a problem)
Internet..........!! ● Think of about the Internet which we use today was
proprietary??
● Things could be easy if it is for free software!!
● Open Source always puts people first.● You can modify,edit or create your own software
● The way you want,the way you want it to work
Useswith more people there comes

Firefox logoBut why Firefox?● It is not well known that firefox is an incredibly cute red
panda.● But sadly, no Secret. It has the name firefox.● Firefox was simple a safe,unique,cool sounding option
