| You've heard about Linux. It powers everything from servers to mobile phones, 
| can be found in schools, governments, industry and homes, and a good chunk of 
| the internet’s infrastructure is powered by it. CHOICE Computer’s Editor even 
| runs it at home!

Driving Science Forward With Crowd Power

,----[ Quote ]
| Crowdsourcing Science
| 
| Project BudBurst, a national field campaign for "citizen scientists," is 
| designed to help record how the planet is warming by tracking the dates that 
| 60 plant species leaf and flower this spring and summer.  
| 
| Students, gardeners and interested residents of the 50 states enter their 
| observations into an online database. 
| 
| After a trial run in 2007 that included reports from 26 states, the project 
| is in full swing this year with thousands of people signed up.

| freedom to cooperate in a community," said Richard Stallman, founder
| of the GNU Project. "If users don't know this, they will be in danger
| of losing their freedom."
