A Look Behind the Scenes at Social Networking Sites
,----[ Quote ]
| Twitter has been open about its use of Ruby
| on Rails as its foundation and Jabber/XMPP
| (Extensible Messaging and Presence
| Protocol) instant messaging. These are both
| open source technologies. This means that
| open source products keep the social
| networks up and running.

SourceMap Provides An Open-Source Tool For Tracking Manufacturing Impact
,----[ Quote ]
| A project of the MIT Media Lab, SourceMap
| aims to provide insight on the origins of
| the products we consume, tracking their
| every component. The open-source tool gives
| registered users a platform for building a
| database composed of the origin, carbon
| footprint, and other impact-relevant
| characteristics of manufactured items. The
| project provides analysis tools such that
| producers, businesses owners and consumers
| can gather information concerning the
| impact of various supply chains to guide
| sustainable decision-making.

'Inbound Marketing' and ideas for fostering the open source community
,----[ Quote ]
| You could even argue the point that the
| community of users around many open source
| technologies like MySQL, JBoss, or Apache
| are more significant than the technology
| itself. After all, there are plenty of open
| source databases, app servers, and Web
| servers to chose from. What made these
| particular products stand out in the
| marketplace? If you're using open source or
| trying to build an open source business,
| how do you tap into that community?

| At its core, I think of free software as
| about the ability of computer users to take
| control of their technology. Insofar as our
| software defines our experience of the
| world and each other, software freedom is
| an important part of what allows us to
| determine the way we live, work, and
| communicate.
