Introduction
Linux-Aktivaattori is a finnish non-profit organisation promoting the use of Linux in both private use and in professional environments.
The Vision
We see a novel, more dynamic and innovative software landscape evolving. Most software products and information services for individuals and organisations will be based on Free and Open Source software and its development model.
Linux-Aktivaattori, as a community-driven organisation, stimulates use and development of Free and Open Source software, and is the umbrella organisation for such efforts in Finland.
