What a fantastic meme. Michelle quotes Deborah quoting some unknown-but-sage librarian, talking about the “free”-ness of open source software:
“…all of these technologies are ‘free’ as in ‘free kittens,’ not free as in ‘free beer.’”
The point being that open-source software takes care and feeding, and the occasional trip to the vet.

Jodie recently described NewsCloud as “your baby that needs care and feeding” … but I like thinking it’s more like my puppy.
Okay, I’ll bite. I must have missed out on the free beer in college. I always had to pay my fair share!
