<h3>Software</h3>
|
||||
<p>Long-standing Expo policy is to retain absolute control of all software and all data. So we use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software">FOSS software</a> and we store data in text files not in a database. You can use other software on your own machine if it is format-compatible and exports data in the formats we want, but all the recommended software here is open source and please don't install proprietary software on the '<em>expo laptop</em>'.

<p>This software works identically on both Windows and Linux.
