Greetings and salutations, hacker public radio, semiotic robotic here with another open
|
|
source news break from opensource.com.
|
|
Here are a few stories from the opensource.com community.
|
|
First we've published a passionately written column by David Hurley, community manager
|
|
for the Jumla project who attempts to locate what he calls the true value of open source.
|
|
Open source is valuable, Hurley writes, very few people would argue that point.
|
|
There is most definitely a sense of intrinsic worth, but where does this value exist?
|
|
Is it in the code produced or in something else?
|
|
Hurley suggests that the value of open source extends beyond software, beyond code, to
|
|
the communities that form around it.
|
|
Further in is where the true value lies, Hurley writes, the people who give their time
|
|
to create this amazing open source community.
|
|
Next, in our life channel, we're featuring an interview with Molly Van Howling, co-founder
|
|
of the new Authors Alliance, a non-profit organization that promotes authorship for
|
|
the public good.
|
|
Van Howling writes that she and the other founders quote, came to realize that there is no
|
|
existing organization that speaks for us as authors and helps us navigate the increasingly
|
|
complicated environment in which our writings are disseminated to the public.
|
|
So, she says, we decided to create that organization.
|
|
The Authors Alliance provides educational and legal tools for authors who want to disseminate
|
|
their work in an increasingly digitized, networked world.
|
|
Its advisory board consists of academics like Dana Boyd, Lawrence Lessig, and Joy Eto,
|
|
as well as popular writers like Cory Doctorow and Jonathan Leatham.
|
|
You can read more about the Authors Alliance at AuthorsAliance.org.
|
|
And finally, I should draw your attention to a challenge from OpenSource.com's resident
|
|
OpenStack Efficient Auto, Jason Baker, who recently posted a poll asking users to name
|
|
from memory all 10 OpenStack releases.
|
|
It's harder than you think, Baker writes, even for some of the core members of the development
|
|
teams.
|
|
What about you, HPR listeners?
|
|
Can you name all 10 releases of OpenStack?
|
|
Take our quiz and test your knowledge.
|
|
The link is in the show notes.
|
|
That's all for this OpenSource news break.
|
|
You'll find links to the stories I've discussed in the show notes for this episode.
|
|
And of course, you'll find even more open source stories at OpenSource.com.
|
|
If you have suggestions for news we might cover, drop us a line at opensource.com slash
|
|
contact or tweet us at OpenSource way.
|
|
Until next time, this is semiotic robotic, wishing you peace, love, and OpenSource.
