Company opens development airport traffic management software
,----[ Quote ]
| The Swiss company Skysoft has started development of Albatross, a set of open
| source applications for air traffic controllers. The project's website was
| unveiled on 16 March.
|
| The software will be published under a GNU Public Licence. The company has
| not yet decided which version of the GPL will be used.
|
| The Swiss specialist in air traffic management technology in June will unveil
| its first open source application, to visualise radar data. This application
| is based on the company's existing proprietary software. It will run on
| GNU/Linux based computers, said Claude Levacher, responsible for marketing at
| Skysoft.

Sharing, Contributing... and Caching

| This story is part bug hunt, part open-source love-story. The bug was a
| particularly gnarly, beautiful little bug and I'm going to try to convey some
| of that to you. But the other half of the story is really the thing here; The
| Guardian is serious about engaging with the wider technology community -
| while we work hard to open out our data to the world at large, we also
| participate by speaking at conferences, sponsoring events, and sometimes in
| the simplest way of all; contributing code and fixes for the Open Source
| software that we use.
