About DaoSeri

DaoSeri is my contribution to computer software. What makes DaoSeri software different from other software?

  • It has a focus on education and learning
  • It is quality software. I don’t write junk — I write software as well as I possibly can. I don’t release beta software — I expect that every release is fully functional and an improvement over the previous release.
  • I hope that parents and schools who can’t afford other, expensive commercial software, will find and use my programs. In this way, I hope to contribute to the freedom of those people to have access to computers and software, and help increase the amount of freedom in the world.
  • It is free software. When you think of free software, think "freedom", not "cheap". Free software is a way of sharing software that makes a positive benefit to the world. If you want to know more, the Free Software Foundation has a good explanation.

What does DaoSeri mean?

DaoSeri is a Thai phrase that means “Liberty Star”. Liberty — Refers to the fact that I write free software, and also to my goal of expanding the freedom of poorer people. Star — Brings positive feelings of freedom and quality.

How can you afford to do this?

The short answer is that I can’t.

The long answer is that I have to go out and get paid employment to pay the bills, and work on my DaoSeri projects in my spare time. This explains why there isn’t much to look at yet. I would really like to work on DaoSeri as my main job.

I plan to operate DaoSeri as some kind of charity. My idea is to ask users of these programs (who can afford it) to donate to DaoSeri whatever they believe is a reasonable market value for the software that I’m letting them have for free. This will enable me to devote more time to this software.
