Jul 23, 2018 Mozilla Thunderbird is a free open source platform that is available for the user on Macs and PCs. It is an email client, news client, chat client, and RSS. In contrast, Mail is just an email client. Consequently, you can perform more tasks with Thunderbird than you can with Mail. The art of ripping DVDs might be lost on today's optical drive-challenged Macs, but that doesn't mean you don't need a good video converter on your Mac. Open-source, multi-platform, and free.

Common Questions
Example Of Free Open Source Software
How do I know if my project is open source?
Open source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify and enhance. These projects are intended to promote collaboration and sharing because they encourage computer programmers to access, view and modify open source software whenever they like, as long as they let others do the same when they share their work.

I manage an open source project, but our software is not free. Can I still get access to this offer?
Unfortunately, no. This offer is only available to free open source developers.
I manage a free open source project, but we charge users for software services and support. Can I still get access to this offer?
Yes! As long as the software itself is free to use, you qualify for this offer.
I am a free, open source developer working on multiple projects. Can I receive a Mac mini for each of my projects?
Unfortunately, there can only be one registered Mac mini per user/project. If a manager for one of the other projects would like to apply for this offer, they are welcome to!
Where will the Mac mini be hosted?
We offer hosting of open source Mac minis where supply is available in our Atlanta, Las Vegas or Dublin locations. If you decide to purchase a private cloud or other product it can be hosted at any of our global data centers.
The Mac minis hosted out of the Dublin data center are priced slightly higher than Mac minis hosted out of the Las Vegas data center. Does this affect the discount or will I still receive a free Mac mini?
Yes, despite price differences, FOSS developers have access to a free Mac mini out of the Dublin data center.
