A place to discuss, learn, promote everything open...We started this community to allow people from all across the world, regardless of job and skills, to communicate and foster more Open. Let’s look (far) beyond software. Lets talk about the Open Everything that this world so desperately needs."

[[User:Pfrields|Paul W. Frields]] added<ref>http://marilyn.frields.org:8080/~paul/wordpress/?p=2974</ref> some additional points about Fedora's goals. "The ability of any Fedora contributor to scratch his or her own itch is one of the strengths of our community. It has yielded many exceptional contributors, brought volunteer leadership to many of our project teams, and produced a steady enough stream of young contributors to merit an annual scholarship recognizing their achievements."
 
[[MichaelDeHaan|Michael DeHaan]] was amazed<ref>http://michaeldehaan.net/2010/01/15/source-code-visualization-with-gource/</ref> by Gource, "an amazing program for visualizing commit history in a git-based code project. What I like about it is that it can also show what areas of the project are active in an easy to understand way, to show whether there is community around a whole project or just aspects of it."
 
If you have ever tried to work with CVS and struggled with the fact that the output from "<tt>cvs status</tt>" is mostly useless, particularly with large projects, [[User:Till|Till Maas]] has</ref>http://blogs.23.nu/till/2010/01/cvs-status-parser-script/</ref> the answer. "I quickly wrote a simple MIT-licensed python script that creates an output like modern scms do."
