Facebook becoming more active for Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| Future of Web Apps (FOWA) event saw major
| companies like Facebook participating. But

| more active at the open source side of the
| business. Recordon, who spearheaded the
| launch of the Open Web Foundation, is
| Facebook's first really prominent open-source
| guru, and when it comes to Facebook's
| marketing pitches, the open-source guys have
| taken a little more coaxing than the iPhone
| developers or widget-builders, reports
