Cybling Systems
Cybling Systems (Cyblings) was registered as a sole proprietorship
in July 1995 by Krishna Bera to offer computer consulting services
to clients in Ottawa, Canada.
We provide software development, website creation and hosting,
network and computer hardware maintenance and research support services.
Cyblings has formed working relationships with various
complementary businesses in order to meet a broader range of needs.
In spring 1999, we made a strategic decision that
all software and documentation we develop would be
free
(non-proprietary) software.
We believe this will reduce costs in the short term,
and reduce the cost of software to society in the long run.
Further, adopting and promoting the use of free software
ensures the building blocks, ideas, algorithms and source code,
with which smaller developers like us earn a living,
continue to be accessible and available.
In order to do this all the office software was switched to
GNU/Linux and
we encourage clients to switch to non-proprietary operating systems
and applications wherever it is reasonable to do so.
