The Liberty Software Foundation (LibSF) was created to be an alternative to
other non-God-fearing software organizations. We believe in the foundation
of Jesus Christ in our lives, and we desire to create digital works which
we will give to other people so that they may have better lives, the result
of our labor given unto God, and unto all men who would receive it.

The general concept of what the LibSF is involved with in software and
other digital media works is embodied in a larger philosophy called the
Village Freedom Project. This project desires to free us from the
traditional systems of men which are focused upon individual gain at
the expense of others, and instead flips that purpose around to make
our goals the gain of all at the potential expense of the individual
(meaning we give, even sacrificially, to help others who are not
currently in a place where they have what they should, or are able to
do what they should). And this organization refers to the general
concept of "Village" which is a global community. Read more here:

I would like to invite people to come and work with me, Rick C. Hodgin, on
these projects that lay ahead.

I have long-term goal which consist of these, and others:

(1) Exodus Operating System, a new from the ground-up i386-based OS.
URL: https://github.com/RickCHodgin/libsf-full/tree/master/_exodus
URL: http://www.libsf.org:7990/projects/LIB/repos/libsf-full/browse/_exodus
OGV: http://www.visual-freepro.org/videos/2014_02_13__exodus_debi_debugger.ogv

(2) Visual FreePro, which includes Visual FreePro, Jr., the Rapid
Development C/C++ Compiler (RDC), the Debi and JDebi debuggers, and
a new virtual machine called VVM (the Visual FreePro Virtual Machine).

ZIP: http://www.libsf.org/software/vjr_0.53.zip
Screenshot: http://www.visual-freepro.org/images/vjr_053.png

(3) Porting the x86-based Exodus to the ARM CPU, under the name Armodus.

(4) Coming back to Exodus and creating Exodus-64.

(5) Coming back to Armodus and creating Armodus-64.

We also have other project slated for development and completion:
URL: http://www.libsf.org/projects

(6) Whitebox, a non-linear video and audio editor, one designed to take
raw video and audio content, a database of edits, and apply on-the-fly
fixups to remove or obscure content so that scenes which are offensive
to some are no longer presented, or are altered by swapping out scenes,
images, portions of scenes, audio tracks, blurring, color bars, and more.

(7) Boost, a simple dice-rolling game with the goal being to better
your opponents score ahead of your own. You "give them a boost."

(8) TimeBank, a way to envision a calendar system by looking at the
time you have allotted to your life in terms of a bank, that there
are no additional deposits, and that every day which goes by is only
a withdrawal, and that each day should be made the most of.

(9) Anchor, a git-like version control system which is made for ease
of use, and one which readily maintains past "anchors" of changes made,
by file, by time, by project, and more.

(10) Interface, a replacement for the web-browser built around Visual
FreePro's client/server and remote data connectivity abilities, which
allow for applications to be constructed which access data locally, or
remotely, using forms which are stored locally, or remotely. In short,
it is a way to create websites which aren't merely used in browser, but
are real apps that can be viewed over a network as though they were a
browser, but can also be stored locally allowing full access to the
website's features, but on a local copy.

-----
In support of these projects LibSF plans to create an AppHome which will
hold all software available for download, including source code, binary
executables, documentation, multimedia content, and more. In addition
there will be a system created which allows people to click a "Donate"
button and give monetarily the project authors. LibSF will take no
percentage of any transaction, but will also have its own "Donate"
button. The LibSF AppHome will be sponsored by the generosity of those
who desire to give unto God, and unto men, from their own bosom. And
should anyone wish to give back, the facility will be there.

-----
LibSF would also like to sponsor "Community Bees," where those who
work on the same project could get together and have meetups. Nothing
fancy or elaborate, but if you've got a relative with a barn and a place
to setup tents for the weekend, then people can come together, enjoy fun
and fellowship, make new friends, meet new people, learn new things, and
enjoy something like a campfire good time, all related to the project
you're interested in, with others of similar interests.

-----
LibSF is purposed to be a long-term project, and one which seeks from
its absolute core to nothing less than a service, a labor of love unto
the Lord, and unto people. It was started in July, 2012. To date I
have had one other person working with me, a Spanish speaking man from
Columbia. He has contributed where he can, but he is not a C/C++
developer. I need more developers to see this vision through.

I would like to invite everyone who would like to be a part of this
offering unto Jesus Christ with their life, to come forward and we'll
start building our future together, His Kingdom here upon this Earth,
as part of LibSF, the Village Freedom Project, and the brotherhood and
sisterhood of those who are redeemed, awaiting our Lord's soon return:

"In God's sight, we've come together.
We've come together to help each other.
Let's grow this project up ... together!
In service and Love to The Lord, forever!"

Thank you, and may the Lord lead you to contribute to the fullest
extent of your abilities on this, or other projects. May your light
shine for Him upon this Earth. And may He receive the fullest return
on all that He first endowed you with in this world, that you may
hear those words, "Well done, my good and faithful servant," upon
your departure from this temporary world.

A brother in Christ,
Rick C. Hodgin

Evolution is proof that your software is the work of the deluded. Your
god doesn't exist mate and your various attempts to preach in this ng
are not welcome.
