Why Code For Free? Linux/FOSS Devs Speak!
,----[ Quote ]
| Last week I talked about some the advantages of Free/Open Source software for
| us end users. Today I'm going to do something no one has ever done in the
| history of punditry, and that is ask actual software developers why they
| prefer FOSS. I received so many excellent responses that I have split this
| into two parts, and the second part will run tomorrow.

Vim Gives to Charity and Gives Back to Donors
,----[ Quote ]
| Kudos to Moolenaar for a creative way to raise money for a worthy cause and
| give a nice bonus back to the donors who pledge money. Leave it to the open
| source community to find such a neat way to open their hearts and wallets to
| people in need.

SourceForge Gears Up For Community Choice Awards
,----[ Quote ]
| Categories run the gamut from technical (Best Tool or Utility for SysAdmins)
| and entertaining (Best Project for Gamers) to "life-changing" (Most Likely to
| Change the Way You Do Everything). Nominated projects are equally
| wide-ranging and while there are a number of familiar names like KeePass
| Password Safe and Audacity, quite a few lesser known projects are being given
| the opportunity to shine. Avogadro, a cross platform, 3-dimensional molecular
| editor, is up for Best Project for Academia and microblogging client Choqok
| has been nominated for Best New Project.

SourceForge delivers 4 billionth open source download
,----[ Quote ]
| Since 1999, SourceForge has the 'go to place' for all open source downloads,
| but in the last couple of years, Google Code has put up a bit of challenge.
| Remember also for a while there was this constant thread in media about how
| SourceForge had 100,000 project, though most had been abandoned.
| SourceForge.net now has 230,000 projects and if downloads are an indication,
| they seem to be doing just fine.
