software projects

Getting into the sequences, byte types and math of the iPod MP3 player. Reverse engineering is one of the skills necessary on many Linux software projects, because many file formats have no open specifications.

The kernel which forms the core of the Linux system is the result of one of the largest cooperative software projects ever attempted.

Regular 2-3 month releases deliver stable updates to Linux users, each with significant new features, added device support, and improved performance.

The Register: "... it is a fair reminder of Linus' hands-on role, which continues to the present day.

Indeed, however touchy-feely one may consider the world of open source to be, the secret of its success can often be ascribed to a level of centralised control.

"Normally the people you find at the core ... know how to run software projects," said Mark Taylor, president of the Open Source Consortium, recently."

The agreement is ongoing and has come about through the continued growth and market success of DataCore's storage virtualisation software projects and FSC's IT-extensive hardware and project support.

The Linux Distillery: "The very heart of the Linux operating system is the kernel, the piece of software which makes programs run and work with hardware.

It's possibly the largest and most geographical spread open source project in the world. With software projects failing daily how can such a task actually work?"

IT Wire: "As the Debian GNU/Linux project marks 15 years of existence, how much has it diverged from the intentions with which it set sail?

As times change and people correspondingly change, motivating factors often tend to change and this is reflected in changes in most software projects.

Is this true for Debian?"

Linux.com: "Michelle Murrain is a great example of what the FOSS community is all about. She's complicated: she calls herself a "scientist turned technologist turned theologian turned writer," all blended into one person.

She's also an active supporter of and contributor to open source software projects. She's not a developer, however, and Murrain would really like to see more space for people like her, with different gifts to share, in the open source community."
