Framabook - Livres libres sur le logiciel libre - Framasoft
Stand Framasoft/book, RMLL 2011 (Strasbourg) Les Rencontres mondiales du Logiciel Libres (tenues à Strasbourg du 9 au 14 juillet 2011) furent encore une fois l’occasion pour les Framabooks de s’exposer fièrement sur le stand Framasoft. Si la population des habitués du village associatif a passé depuis longtemps l’effet de surprise au profit d’une soif toujours plus grande d’ouvrages libres, ce ne fut pas le cas pour ceux qui se familiarisaient pour la première fois avec les notions de liberté logicielle et de culture libre.
The Architecture of Open Source Applications
Architects look at thousands of buildings during their training, and study critiques of those buildings written by masters. In contrast, most software developers only ever get to know a handful of large programs well—usually programs they wrote themselves—and never study the great programs of history. As a result, they repeat one another's mistakes rather than building on one another's successes.
