[Osdc-list] Androids, spaghetti data, prosth etics, and The White House | opensource.com review – Vol 3 Issue 10

[Jason Hibbets <jhibbets redhat com>]

Here is your weekly glimpse of what’s happening on opensource.com. We 
had a great week on the site that included new contributors and a 
variety of excellent content. Big event this week, our webcast on Open 
Services Innovation. Help us spread the word and join if you can.

The Introducing students to the world of open source: Day 1 article 
[http://opensource.com/life/10/11/introducing-students-world-open-source-day-1], 
by Asheesh Laroia, was picked up over the weekend by HackerNews and 
Reddit, which generated a ton of traffic. You probably want to read that 
one if you haven’t already :)

    What is opensource.com? A community for exploring how open source 
principles like collaboration, transparency, and meritocracy are 
influencing innovation beyond technology–shaping education, law, 
business, government, and everyday life.

The opensource.com team wants to provide you with a weekly snapshot 
about what’s happening on the site and remind you of some of the ways 
that you can participate.
