Episode 2: How can free software be any good?

Fri, 04/03/2009 - 14:04 -- Aaron Lundborg

The podcast starts with Speakeasy suffering a nationwide outage and the client-calls to Freelock pour in.

 

John and Aaron talk about the value of free (and "Free") software. John goes in depth about BackupPC and how it can help avoid a data disaster.

 

John also talks about why developers might develop software for free and why some companies might pay for "Free" (i.e. Open Source) software to be developed.

Customer Feedback

I had the privilege of working with John and Freelock in launching a new Little League website. The process was flawless and the end product was magnificent exceeding our expectations. John knows his stuff! He had a wonderful ability to bring the perfect solution to our community based organization. Being volunteer run, we needed some special considerations in the way our website works, John understood this and delivered solutions that were perfect for us. We now have a cool website that also has the ability to grow with us into the future. I highly recommend John Locke and Freelock Computing.
