Becoming an open source developer | Opensource.com Contributing to open source can be incredibly rewarding. Making open source software accessible to all | Opensource.com As the user base of open source software continues to grow, developers have the responsibility of making their software accessible to all potential users, including people with disabilities.

The issues that are usually raised have to do with quality, reliability, and the cost of installation. However, self-constructed wind turbine projects are one sector of wind energy that is thriving. Self-constructed wind turbines offer a real alternative, as they enable local people to build and maintain the technology, which makes all the difference. Today, 1.4 billion people worldwide have no access to electricity.
Small wind turbines offer viable and sustainable means for remote communities to manage their own local resources and lift themselves out of poverty. Wind Empowerment is an association that is active in the development of small, self-constructed wind turbines, originally designed by Hugh Piggott, to enable rural electrification. Wind Empowerment is composed of 37 organizations in 28 different countries. The program for the week will include: Spanish hospitals test open source data portal. Spain's largest hospital chain, Quirón, will be piloting a portal based on the Openstack open source cloud computing solution, to provide patients with access to their radiology data.
The pilot is one part of a three-year research project called Coco Cloud, which in 2013 received a 2.8 million euro grant from the European Commission's FP7 funding programme. Some of the requirements for the secure cloud-computing environment will be formulated by Italy's governmental ICT resource centre, the Agenzia per l'Italia Digitale (AGID). The Quirón group announced the pilot in November last year. The pilot will allow patients to access their radiological information using the Internet, reducing the number of hospital visits, and providing alternative ways to inform patients about diagnosis and treatments.
"It could be a useful tool in a complex multidisciplinary approach", Quirón said in a press release.

I recently wrote that to master technology, you must master software. It is software that differentiates one device or computing experience from another. And since nearly all software today is built using open source projects and code, knowing how to collaborate and contribute to an open development community is a requirement for any developer or company regardless of industry. Most companies today get this. They’re all at different stages in their learning curve about how to participate but they understand the need and the benefit. They’re also painfully aware of the global shortage of developers.
Many companies are taking this issue into their own hands. Google in November will launch its 2012 Code-in program, which encourages young people (age 13-17) to participate in open source development by awarding them points for specific tasks completed on specific open source projects. Portada.
