  Editor's Note  

Good morning,

Open source advocates have gathered in Perth this week for Linux.conf.au - and while we couldn't be there, we thought we'd compile a list of tweets (in the 'featured tweets'' section, below) that give you a flavour of the discussions at the event.

We'd like to wish all attendees a safe journey home later this week.

-- Brett Winterford

Out of Google, Apple, and Microsoft, it is *Microsoft* that has made decisions preserving your freedom to change OS/Firmware. #lca2014

Running older, stable OS versions much preferred to the latest version. Maintaining your own distro allows you to add in new stuff. #LCA2014

From international research, public wants legal protections for whistleblowers. Why? Because "telling truth is a revolutionary act" #lca2014
