Don’t Reinvent the Wheel: Working with iOS Core and Open Source Frameworks
blog.engineyard.com
on 04/16/2013
Excerpt: “We’re different! ” This is a mantra many organizations will trot out to justify striking out on their own path with some new technology, design, or process. And sometimes it’s true. But the question they need to ask next is, “Are we so different as to justify two to four times as much work, a delay in getting to market, and increased maintenance costs for the indefinite future? ”
Nowhere is this more apparent than the app ecosystem of the mobile computing world. You can’t blame a developer or organization for wanting to be unique, because having a user interface/experience that stands out could be the differentiator between getting your app featured and making a profit or ending up in the scrap heap of apps.... read the full post.

Excerpt: Helios is an open-source framework that provides essential backend services for iOS apps, from data synchronization and user accounts to push notifications, in-app purchases, and passbook integration. It allows developers to get a client-server app up-and-running in just a few minutes, and seamlessly incorporate functionality as necessary. Helios is designed for "mobile first" development. Build out great features on the device, and implement the server-side components as necessary. Pour all of your energy into crafting a great user experience, rather than getting mired down with the backend. One great example of this philosophy in Helios is Core Data Synchronization.... read the full post.

The GitHub Generation: Why We're All in Open Source Now
www.wired.com
on 03/07/2013
Excerpt: Image: Cameron McEfee / Github Octodex
GitHub was intended to be an open software collaboration platform, but it’s become a platform for much, much more than code. It’s now being used by artists, builders, home owners, everyone in between, entire companies … and cities. GitHub is doing to open source what the internet did to the publishing industry. “Anyone can now change the data when new bike paths are built, when roads are under construction, and new buildings are erected,” the city of Chicago recently announced. People are managing home-renovation projects on GitHub. One law firm also just announced a couple days ago that it’s posting legal documents for early-stage startup funding on GitHub.... read the full post.

Chicago Using Github Has Potential For More Citizen Participation in Government @ Kin Lane
kinlane.com
on 03/04/2013
Excerpt: Github is not just a site for managing code, for use by programmers. The platform can host code, data, markup, markdown and files like images, pdf, etc. Basically anything you can store in a file, and apply versioning to, you can put Github to work, helping you manage collaboration and the assets evolution. The City of Chicago just published five datasets including street locations, building footprints, bike routes, pedway routes and bike rack locations on Github--released under the MIT license, giving anyone the right to download, modify and reuse, even for commercial purposes.... read the full post.

DataSift open-sources its social media analysis tool
gigaom.com
on 02/16/2013
Excerpt: Summary: The concept of bringing social media sentiment closer to business intelligence is a sensible move that can help companies create more value from social media. DataSift is releasing an open-source version of its Query Builder service to work alongside enterprises’ existing business-intelligence software, allowing more employees to gain more insight from social media mentions. The open-source presentation of Query Builder, which permits existing DataSift customers’ developers to simplify the tool’s appearance and functionality, might seem like a matter of crossing big data with even more data.... read the full post.

Video: Clay Shirky on why love makes open source communities work. by Nick of 37signals

Excerpt: Classic video. I love that moment (3:09) when they got the community to answer a question: “They didn’t care that they’d seen it work in practice, because they already knew it couldn’t work in theory. ”
We'd rather not moderate, but off-topic, blatantly inflammatory, inappropriate or vapid comments may be removed. Repeat offenders will be banned. Let’s add value. Thank you. Read all of Nick’s posts, and follow Nick on Twitter.... read the full post.

Mobeelizer’s SDKs are Open Source. What are the benefits of that?
mobeelizer.com
on 01/16/2013
Excerpt: Open Source products have as many followers as opponents. In this article, you don’t find any essay, who have right. I think the suitability of Open Source is best determined on a case-by-case basis. On the internet you can find many articles about pros of Open Source solutions. Really often there are arguments like: no costs, rapid development, free updates and so on. Definitely these are the benefits, but are generally poorly established – the context is missing. Let me give you an example. Open Source ERP system, you may think – great! I can have useful tool for free, but wait… is it really for free? What about implementation costs? What about support? What about updates? What about new dedicated features?... read the full post.

Concurrent launches open source API to ease Hadoop development
www.zdnet.com
on 06/11/2012
Excerpt: One developer is forwarding his alternative app framework to MapReduce to make big data management in the Hadoop era easier. Concurrent CEO and Founder Chris Wensel is the creator of an open source data workflow API, Cascading, which is used by Twitter, Amazon and Razorfish. Last week, the company was officially launched as was Cascading 2. 0, which is now available under an Apache 2. 0 license. Wensel sees growing adoption of the API as big data management explodes. He created Cascading to help him develop complex Hadoop applications easier and first released the code in 2007. “I was writing Hadoop applications and it was an extremely painful process. I started writing a framework to give me a different model.... read the full post.
