Free Software Consortium is a multinational consortium established to link the
companies and the independent consultants that use and promote Free Software.

One of the bigger obstacles to the development of the Free Software services
market is the fear of the companies to establish contracts with independent
consultants who do not have support of a well known company, corporation or
consortium.  Questioning quality, support, experience and capability to
successfully complete a project are the companies manager's main concerns when
considering the option of migrating their systems to Free Software.

Like you, we know the excellent quality that Free Software offers.
We have complete confidence that Free Software is going to be the platform of
the future.
That is why its so important to work and consolidate together to solve the
problem mentioned above.

Free Software Consortium intends to fill this void joining the best Free
Software companies and consultants at the national and international level.

following benefits:
