off topic: 2 videos on source control and open source development

I just wanted to send out links to 2 informative videos
regarding open source and change control systems.

The first is Linus Torvalds on git and how it contrasts
with subversion and other approaches (where he says
some nice things about Mercurial, btw).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8

This one is about managing the community dynamics
in the subversion project.

It only made me a little uncomfortable at certain moments :).

Good viewing.

1 - Open Source Software Development (OSSD) is inherently a meritocracy. Bigger, better contributions earn you more power and status. 2 - OSSD accepts the individuality of individual contributions, and as such makes institutional racism/sexism/religionism - even nationalism, impossible. You do good = You are good. 3 - OSSD proves the selfish, economic usefuless of unpaid co-operation with strangers. If you want to promote a rich and...

Hi All, For the past few months I have been working on an open source Apache/PHP/MySQL content management system - and have recently made it available for download. It's still very much a work in progress (current release version is 0.4.6), but you should get a very good idea of what it's about by visiting the site (which uses it, funnily enough), or downloading a copy of it and trying it out.

Hello, sorry for the off-topic question but I think this is a good place to ask. I plan to develop open-sourced web application which integrates CVS browser, a bug tracking system and some more interesting features to support development both open-sourced and commercial projects. I would like to know whether it is worth to invest my free time for such a tool. CVS is rather an old system and I have no idea how widely is used in...

I'm sure the net will be buzzing with this news fairly soon, but just in case anyone hasn't seen it yet: Microsoft are going to make the source code for the .NET framework (parts of it, including the BCL, ASP.NET and LINQ) available both for viewing and debugging into. I won't go into all the details here, as they're covered on Scott Guthrie's blog:

With the open source licenses that allow redistribution of modified code, how do you keep someone unaffiliated with the Python community from creating his or her own version of python, and declaring it to be Python 2.6, or maybe Python 2.7 without any approval of anyone at the PSF? Maybe their code is terrible, and not even compatible with the rest of Python! How can the PSF, for example, maintain the quality and coheren of new code...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
