This Week on Github: In Good Company
,----[ Quote ]
| A free lunch may still be a myth, but the benefits of free and open source
| software are already legendary. Businesses now readily embrace Linux, Apache,
| and scores of other packages up and down the so-called stack; companies such
| as MySQL have proven it’s possible to turn an open source project into a
| (very) profitable enterprise; and services like Dreamhost and WordPress are
| leading a new wave of businesses powered entirely by community-driven
| software rather than an impenetrable black tower of proprietary code.

Mondo & Mindi - Disaster recovery solution
,----[ Quote ]
| The ability to create bootable images with every backup is a great bonus.
| This allows you to mass-deploy your backups on multiple systems
| simultaneously, without depending on third-party operating systems (like
| CloneZilla, SystemRescueCD or others). You use your own kernel, with every
| backup bundled with it.
|
| Mondo is a highly useful solution to keeping your systems healthy in the long
| run. I highly recommend it.
|
| This article was inspired by a friend's suggestion. Thanks, Dany!

SEO Tools For Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Nearly every piece of software written that aids in search engine
| optimization is written for the Windows platform. Perhaps this is because
| most of these types of software come with a price tag, and I would venture to
| say that most Linux users are resistant to paying for any type of software.
| The Open Source community provides just about every kind of app a person
| needs, but some specialized kinds of apps are sometimes unavailable.

Open-sourcers get with the git
,----[ Quote ]
| There was a time when the Linux community used BitKeeper as its source code
| control system, after switching from the open-source CVS. But then Samba
| developer Andrew Tridgell figured out you could telnet to a BitKeeper server,
| type "HELP," and get a list of commands. Upon hearing of Tridgell's daring
| hack, BitMover - the company that maintains BitKeeper - got all
| license-revokey on the community, changing the terms of the agreement and
| demanding that Linux developers start paying for its software.

GitHub unites Version Control with the Pastie
,----[ Quote ]
| What does this mean for pastie users? Each pastie, or gist, is its own Git
| repository. By placing pasties inside a git repository, GitHub is able to
| redefine how pasties work.
|
| [...]
|
| Even though GitHub is only about eight months old, they already host just
| over 10,000 open source projects. More importantly, they are already
| profitable with paying customers for their private repository hosting service
| numbering in the thousands.

Git Spawns a Business
,----[ Quote ]
| The up-and-coming version control system git has begun to prove its mettle
| outside of Linux kernel development. The Ruby on Rails community has embraced
| it wholeheartedly with many core projects migrating to the system recently.
| The climate has become right for businesses to spring up in the wake of this
| adoption.

Git Gets Down to Business
,----[ Quote ]
| That is, not content with helping to create an entire GNU/Linux industry,
| Torvalds has now spawned another business sector with Git. Truly, this man is

Git to Manage Android Code
,----[ Quote ]
| Git is an open source version control system designed to handle very large
| projects with speed and efficiency, but it’s also suited for small personal
| repositories; it is especially popular in the open source community, serving
| as a development platform for projects like the Linux Kernel, WINE or X.org.

Git is the next Unix
,----[ Quote ]
| Much like Unix itself, git's actual software doesn't matter; it's the file
| format, the concepts, that change everything.
|
| Whether they're called git or not, some amazing things will come of this.
