DENIS `JAROMIL' Rojo is as unconventional as one can get. He is an artist
(multi-faceted); free software programmer, a Rastafarian, a social worker,
and is a squatter on a vacant plot in Amsterdam. And his ideas are radical.
An Italian, Jaromil is a member of the fast-growing tribe that believes
the future belongs to free software. He is in India right now to convince
NGOs to use free software instead of spending public money to make multinational
corporations rich
"Today, every operating system comes with a free music player; but
to produce music, you must buy a producer. This is a consumerist approach
that tries to shape society. So, I produce software that is free and comes
with producers and players. Free software is a good way to not depend
on foreign companies. In NGO work especially, public money can be invested
in free software that will contribute to generate local employment,"
he argues. |
