Free software tools for designing productive community sites

,----[ Quote ]
| These days there’s a lot of buzz about “Web 2.0” and making websites more 
| interactive, but what’s really going on is a reconnection to the community 
| nature of the internet. Collaboration, cooperation, and the information 
| commons are all ideas that pre-dated the world wide web in the form of older 
| internet technologies. In today’s distributed computing environment, though, 
| these technologies have really flourished. Here’s a guide to eight that you 
| should consider making use of in building a community around an information 
| commons project of any kind, from multimedia, to hardware, to software.

Stallman vs. Clouds

,----[ Quote ]
| Still, I think that RMS is onto something. The core promise of computing, 
| even on a vast network that connects us all, is autonomy and independence. 
| It's being free (as in freedom) to operate on your own, and to share what's 
| meant to be shared in ways that nobody else can control, and to improve 
| useful goods in ways that work for everybody. There are, in those core 
| values, imperatives that seem at odds with the dependencies that "cloud 
| computing" can sometimes involve.

Web 2.0 and open source: We've already won

,----[ Quote ]
| In both cases, these businesses are focused on fostering abundance and then 
| the value they sell is providing order in the chaos, just as Google and Red 
| Hat do, in their respective ways. In both cases, they're building their 
| future with open source.
