Bike & White Bread
Welcome to Bike & Bread Ltd, a leading hospitality concept startup. This is us: Riku Risuparta, Liisa Lenkkipolku, Väinö Äijälä and John Doe.
Install us a workstation with OpenOffice (or whatever it’s called nowadays).
We believe in publishing our work. Make us sample homepages to edit.
We need a secure way to access the computer from internet cafes when we bike around. Set up necessary services.
Liisa is writing a breakthrough software, BikeConceptor. To support Linux, Mac, Windows, Android and iOS, it will be PHP. Set up PHP “hello world” so that Liisa can get started quickly.
Help Liisa pick a license for BikeConceptor. Liisa: “It should be Free software. But I don’t want anyone to just take it and turn it into proprietary software. ” Pick a license, and write a short (max 1000 characters) explanation of the license chosen.
