The Battle for Slovenian exhibition at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana featured milestones in translation of software in Slovenian language, care for its digital infrastructure, and development of new terminology as well as its related slang (2019).
Background
The collection grew out of the Cyberpipe activities. This multimedia centre, focused on open source and other free technologies was established in 2000. It was managed by the K6/4 Institute up to 2013 when the association, established by the museum's founders took over the museum collection. Two years later Cyberpipe dissolved.
Cyberpipe housed the first computer museum in Slovenia and organised many events or projects dealing with computer history. The museum was interactive so that visitors could use Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Atari 1040ST, Macintosh SE, IBM PS/1, IBM PC XT, etc.
