If you use a computer, it's a pretty safe bet that you will have heard of Microsoft Windows. The best way to explain the job that Windows does for your computer is to imagine it as a kind of brain. It's the 'intelligence' that knows how to print a document or display a mouse pointer or connect to the Internet. If we were to refer to this 'brain' by its proper name, we'd call it an operating system.
What you might not know is that there are other operating systems out there for your computer, many of which work better than Windows, some of which are even free!
Let me introduce you to my favourite operating system. It's called Ubuntu, and it's my favourite for many reasons. If you stick with me, I'd love to explain why.

What is the Freely Project?  The Freely Project was setup for the advocacy and encouragement of
Open Source Software (OSS) and Linux usage within churches and Christian organisations. Members of the project have a range of technical abilities and denominations. The Project does not have a statement of faith, nor does it require members to be of the Christian faith in order to participate, on the understanding that the Project is specifically for Christian organisations, and thus most members will likely either be connected with the Christian community, or the Linux/OSS community.
Why was the Project setup? The Freely Project was setup following the realisation that churches could benefit greatly from using OSS and Linux, and the belief that there are sound ethical and philosophical reasons why this should happen. However, it was recognised that many churches were unaware or unable to take advantage of these benefits, and that a coordination of resources would be advantageous.
