The SSS team put all the most commonly used free programs into one download to make it easier for students to install useful software (including fully-featured office suites, 3D graphic editors and much more) for free.
We created SSS because we love Open Source software and want to help make it more accessible to students all around the world.

This software enables students to achieve more for less, and that inspires us. People all over the world are using free software to make their lives better.
After all of these years of mooching off of great volunteer programmers, this is our little way of saying thanks. By providing a tool that makes their great free software more accessible to software-hungry students from Boston to Bangalore, we feel weve given a little back to the free software community and to students all over the world.
