Dr. PC World - Great Free Files: 20 Fantastic Open Source Downloads. The very earliest days of the PC revolution were soaked in idealism. People shared their knowledge with one another freely; the very idea of charging for software was an anathema. The early days of the Internet had a similar rosy view of the world. Today, of course, all that has changed. But there are still plenty of idealists out there, sharing their work with the world freely, and asking others to work cooperatively with them.
That's the underlying idea behind the Open Source movement. People create software, and allow others to download and use it freely, and let them modify it as well. This idealism can create great software. Google announces Summer of Code results; Drupal gets TWENTY slot. We are thrilled to announce that Google will be sponsoring 20 Drupal projects for Summer of Code 2007. The students, their projects, and the mentors for each are listed below. As the summer progresses, these students will be turning to the community for support and for help testing their work. To keep up-to-date with all of the latest SoC developments, please join the SoC 2007 working group and help out in whatever ways you can. The projects this year show a strong focus on the core Drupal software and the infrastructure that makes Drupal.org run.
For example, the translation, metrics, and RCS abstraction projects all intend to make project management on Drupal.org better in some way. Two projects focused on staging and scalability will help make Drupal more robust, two projects focusing on Drupal file handling will help shore up known weaknesses in that area. Thank you to Google for the unbelievably generous support. Open Source Photography: Welcome!
