## Introduction
|
||
|
|
||
|
FSS is a student society that brings together students who are interested in free software and want to improve their level of technological literacy.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Free Software Society aims:
|
||
|
|
||
|
To work towards increasing the awareness of free software and the use of these technologies within the culture of METU, to ensure that activities are carried out and continue in accordance with the objectives.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Objectives
|
||
|
|
||
|
+ Conducting trainings and dissemination activities in order to popularize the GNU philosophy and the use of free software.
|
||
|
|
||
|
+ To encourage the use and contribution of free software so that the benefits of academic studies can be shared publicly.
|
||
|
|
||
|
+ Works for network neutrality and accessible internet.
|
||
|
|
||
|
+ It opposes the limitation of our fundamental rights and freedoms, the efforts to create a society of surveillance / control, and struggles for the use of technology to liberate people and society more.
|
||
|
|
||
|
+ It works for the development of a brand new communication culture against social networks being seen and used as a mere consumption and exhibition tool.
|
||
|
|
||
|
+ Opposes scientific and technological accumulation to be private or private property.
|
||
|
|
||
|
+ Advocates sharing production models and licenses against patents and licenses that dominate these collective assets that are not benefitial for the society.
