FLOSSE Posse: Free, Libre and Open Source Software in Education. Since 2005
Flosse Posse blog was originally set as a group blog for the Finnish Association of Free, Libre and Open Source Software in Education. This way the word Flosse refers to the words Free, Libre, Open Source, Education.
The group effort didn’t really stand that long and people were not that interested in to run a real “association”. As time went by this blog end-up to be more a personal blog of Teemu Leinonen, although the original “posse” may write to the blog at any time.
