Free software, proprietary maps?

If you didn't know it, today is Software Freedom Day.

Just noticed that, when you surf to http://cgi.softwarefreedomday.org/map.shtml to look if there's something happening around you on SFD, you'll get a proprietary google map.

It seems that the organizers of the SFD can't look beyond one's own nose. I often saw this behaviour in parts of the free software movement (being ignorant about proprietary stuff if it's not software), but found this example especially frightening, as we have a well working alternative.

Heute ist Software Freedom Day

Software Freedom Day in BacknangEin guter Tag also für alle meine Blog-Leser, sich mal wieder Gedanken drüber zu machen, welche Software sie nutzen und wem sie damit eigentlich vertrauen. Ich glaub der ein oder andere fühlt sich angesprochen.

Für alle im Umkreis von Backnang sei noch gesagt, dass die LUG heute abend in die Bar »Das Wohnzimmer« einläd und über ihre Aktivitäten informiert.
