Picok: An Open Source Personal Information Manager
,----[ Quote ]
| Picok is developed in Switzerland so most of the existing modules, or
| portlets as they're known in this app, are aimed at European users. Current
| portlets include a Swiss weather radar, Pons German-English dictionary, and
| European rail schedule. However, the project wiki has clear instructions for
| creating custom portlets on your own.

What Free Software, Linux and Microsoft Have Taught Us
,----[ Quote ]
| On the other end, seeing Free Software in action has I think given us an
| appreciation few can match for the potential of fairly egalitarian
| co-operation. People argue about whether Open Source is Communist or
| Capitalist or whatever. I think that's basically a category error in a way.
| Certainly for most capitalist businesses in practical terms, Free Software
| lets them save money and get more done better. That's good for business. But
| I'd have to say that Free Software does refute the idea that competition is
| the only way to get anything done, or that self-interest is the only
| motivator. And we don't see that only in the software itself.

Wear Your Love for Linux on Your Sleeve
,----[ Quote ]
| Ferguson goes on to say that to avoid copyright restrictions, he and the
| designers are only able to consider concepts and original slogans, not images
| or artwork. Once all the collaboration is over and design decisions are made,
| free t-shirts will be given to anyone who contributed a chosen design.
