A student team aimed at:

  • encouraging the USW community to embrace free software
  • assisting new and established free software users
  • providing opportunities for free software users to co-operate, socialise and share


About us

Currently, we are a group of one: me, a first year BSc Computer Science student. I really hope to grow the team steadily.

Free software at the university

I have notified the university that I will not be using proprietary software in the course of my studies. This has involved considerable extra work in finding and learning about free alternatives to the proprietary programs the university recommends / uses, but I think it's worth it. Hopefully, my work will be of use to others.


How to Join

Come along and say "hi!" See "next events" below. Alternatively, contact me through libreplanet.org (username: hughm).


Next events

I will be in the Treforest library cafe kiosk every Tuesday between (roughly) noon and 1pm. I will try to wear my purple "Free Software, Free Society" t-shirt to help people find me. Come along and discuss free software and associated issues and talk about how we can move things forward on campus.
