[Osdc-list] Open access, tool traps, and web edu FAIL | opensource.com review, Vol 3, Issue 12

[Jason Hibbets <jhibbets redhat com>]

I wanted to start of this week by saying thanks. Thanks to everyone who 
visits the site, contributes to the community, joins in the 
conversations, and helps us tell the world about the open source way.

Last week was another solid week on the site. We had over 30,000 page 
view, 14 new posts, and some excellent conversations that are continuing 
this week.

One small thing that you can do this week to help:

    * Try out our new share buttons on the site: Twitter, identi.ca, 
reddit, StumbleUpon, Facebook

    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.
