Breadbin Interactive, a local open source software company, is looking to use its Freedom Toaster platform to promote and expand open source software into the rest of Africa. The company plans to expand into Africa to make information feely available, particularly in the enterprise and education space. The aim, says the company, is to make up-to-date relevant information free to the public to download from computer platforms entitled Freedom Toasters. Brett Simpson, co-founder of the Freedom Toaster, says: “The name Freedom Toaster is derived from the fact that open source software and open content is free and that Linux users refer to burning CDs as ‘toasting’; hence The Freedom Toaster.
