Open Source Software: Changing the world at your fingertips!

 

When: 12th August 2025 16:00 - 17:00
Where: Azure Beach Public Library Large Meeting Room
What: This is a presentation on open source software!

Why?

Growing tired of Adobe jacking up the prices on all your creative software while adding useless features and harvesting your artworks to be used to train AI? Is Windows 11 barely usable and rife with advertisements on an operating system you paid for? Are you tired of having barely any control over what your computer does?

This presentation will show you a better way of computing. A way that's not only free to use but can also teach you that you can change the world and not have to bow down to mega corporations ruining your computing usage. We will show you how to use open source alternatives such as Linux, Blender and Krita so that you can take control over how you use your computer. We will also show you the wonderful community behind all this software and hope to convince you to help contribute to it. That's right, with open-source software, everyone can have a say behind the design and programming of these apps.

If you are interested in taking back control over your digital tools, join us for our presentation at Azure Beach Library and book now on Eventbrite here! 

P.S. If you're hungry for more info on open-source software, have a look at this Wikipedia article (which is also open-source!). If you would like to contact us for further information on the event, don't hesitate to send an email over to events@abpl.nsw.gov.au.
