libervis

Almost four years ago searching for "Libervis" on Google yielded a page describing "Latinvlo: A Latin-Based International Auxiliary Language" on the first page of search results which in its adverbs section defines the word "Libervis" as meaning "most freely". I made this search query in order to test the uniqueness of the word I just coined as a slogan between "Liberty Vision" (LiberVis). Finding that it actually has a meaning in a Latin derived language which implies maximum freedom I have found the name I was looking for.

I have noticed that some people outside Libervis don't quite understand what Libervis is. For example:

Which was linked to from the BLAG forums as "Bad press for libervis".

Libervis never asked anything, it's a discussion site. Someone asked something on Libervis, which is quite different.
Nothing published on libervis.com is usually not the opinion of Libervis, not even if it was written by libervisco. If, for example, someone sends us an opinion piece explaining why Free Software is bad, we will publish it (and rip it to pieces in the comments, cause we're a discussion site ).
The only way something can be the opinion of Libervis is when it has been approved by both the moderators and the regular users of the site.

Free culture is the culture of free (as in freedom) information and content such as music, images, text, software; anything! The word "libervis" means "most freely" in Latin. In the beginning this "most freely" only referred to free software, but throughout 2005 we broadened our view to all of free culture. This is probably the biggest change that happened to Libervis.com and also the one that was the most crucial to defining its identity.

Libervis.com provides a rich environment where its users can discuss free culture related topics, write articles together, blog, share their creations, and much more. It is a framework through which a Free Culture can flow in open communication, discussion and creativity.

2005 was a year of defining Libervis.com, its identity and purpose. It was also a year of growth that brought it to a mature state in which it has something to show, a strong base to build on and something to attract with. It happened through the few key events that marked this year and shaped Libervis.com to what it is. The following examines some of these events.
