Part I - Is it possible to have fun with free software?

YES!

But, How?

All you have to do is to choose an open source project

hosted on: SourceForge.net, Google Code or

Launchpad.net.

Remember, free software is all about freedom!

Or..make your own project, there are so many opensource programming languages that helps you to write

some codes!

projects that was developed just for fun:

Server:

Python

Python is a general-purpose high-level programming

language whose design philosophy emphasizes code

readability;Python supports multiple programming paradigms,

primarily but not limited to object oriented, imperative

and, to a lesser extent, functional programming styles;

Python is often used as a scripting language, but is also

used in a wide range of non-scripting contexts;

Python uses dynamic typing and a combination of

reference counting and a cycle-detecting garbage

collector for memory management;
