    Further reading in GitHub "The open-source programming world has a lot to teach democracy, says Clay Shirky. In this fascinating talk from TEDGlobal 2012, Shirky harkens back to the early days of the printing press. At the time, a group of "natural philosophers" (who would later adopt the term "scientists") called the Invisible College realized that the press could offer a new way to share and debate their work. However, because printing books would be far too slow for this purpose, they came up with a new invention - the scientific journal."

Redefining the Public Library Using Open Source Ideas | FOSS Force - 0 views

    "Christine Hall When I read that the Takoma Park Maryland Library has 28 workstations running Linux, I literally couldn't believe it. Really? A library offering the public Linux? Whenever I go to a library, all I ever see are Windows machines or maybe a Mac or two. When I mention Linux as an alternative, and I sometimes do, I'm usually met with blank stares and the staff begins to think I'm nuts."

Open source isn't just about code--other ways to contribute | Opensource.com - 0 views

    "Talking to developers and reading about open source I often get the feeling that the general notion is that open source is just about code and commits. Put another way, "If you don't make commits for a project you are not contributing to it." Or so they say. That notion is far from the truth in my eyes. Let me tell you why."
