I got to know some of them online and they helped me getting started. At that point I was not fully aware of the significance of software freedom. I was primarily concerned about getting a secure and virus-free system. So I could stop worrying too much about losing my work, reinstalling the system, formatting and going through the same #<span class="tag"><a href="https://gnusocial.no/tag/windows" rel="tag">Windows</a></span> nightmares again and again. Around 2006 I accidentally deleted my Windows partition when installing GNU/Linux (Fedora 6 I think). I decided not to install Windows again because by that time I knew I could manage all of my work with free software.http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2016-10-24T15:27:17+00:002016-10-24T15:27:17+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://gnusocial.no/user/695lohangVisual artist, writer and translator.

When Laconica was launched I was already a free software user. I heard about Laconica during those epic Twitter downtimes in 2008. Lot of people were looking for alternatives. If I remember correctly, Laconica was first mentioned on Linux Outlaws podcast. They discussed the importance of having distributed and federated social network; and about avoiding single points of failures. Soon I became one of the early users of #<span class="tag"><a href="https://gnusocial.no/tag/laconica" rel="tag">Laconica</a></span> ( #<span class="tag"><a href="https://gnusocial.no/tag/identica" rel="tag">identica</a></span> ) Laconica was later renamed as StatusNet. It then became GNUSocial as a result of the merging of StatusNet and Free Social projects.http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2016-10-24T15:21:12+00:002016-10-24T15:21:12+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://gnusocial.no/user/695lohangVisual artist, writer and translator.

First (in "my world"), there was ShareWare - some of which never 'forced' you to pay anything, or asked you to pay only if you used it professionally. By 1997 I had started to build my own web site and picked ht://dig as local search application, based on specifications. When implemented, I found some of the wanted features had not actually been implemented yet. So I dived in, pretty-printed the C++ source to make it easier to read, and found what to change where to implement the feature I wanted. Managed to actually do that, learning some C++ in the process (with a little help about syntax). That was my first contrtibution to open source software.http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2016-10-21T06:20:24+00:002016-10-21T06:20:24+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttp://oracle.skilledtests.com/user/2368mkTemporarily lost photographer.

Then I found out about Evan Prodomou's "Laconica" (on <a href="http://laconi.ca/" title="http://laconi.ca/" rel="nofollow">laconi.ca</a>) and signed up there, too (part of the first 2000) - which morphed into 'identica' and later StatusNet software; then the domain <a href="http://identi.ca/" title="http://identi.ca/" rel="nofollow">identi.ca</a> got powered by <a href="http://pump.io/" title="http://pump.io/" rel="nofollow">pump.io</a> instead and I left, staying with StatusNet which morphed into GNU Social.
