ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

FLOSS Weekly

Okay kiddo, let me explain floss weekly to you!

Have you ever heard of dental floss? It's a thin string that is used to clean between your teeth! Well, Floss Weekly isn't about that kind of floss.

Floss Weekly is actually a show that talks about computer programs that people can use for free. These programs are called open source software, which means that people can use them however they want, and even change them to make them better!

Every week, the people who host Floss Weekly talk about different open source software programs. They explain what they do, how they work, and why people might want to use them. They also interview the people who created the programs, to learn more about what they do and why they made them.

So it's like a show that tells you about different kinds of free computer programs and tells you everything you need to know about them. Just like your parents taking you to the library to pick out books, Floss Weekly gives you ideas about what kind of programs you might want to use!
