Re: [libreplanet-discuss] SourceContribute: a blog listing free software contributions made by organizations

[Rudolf]

it's up! http://sourcecontribute.com/

I have a few posts scheduled to be published later today and I created a Twitter account and Facebook account to promote this. I'm going to put up the email template that I created earlier and some information for decision makers to use to figure out how to contribute to free software projects.

Next step is most definitely creating an identi.ca account. I'm trying to minimize linking to proprietary companies as much as possible and only using links as a reward for ridiculously good contributions. Not sure if that makes sense but at the moment it doesn't matter till I get more posts and submissions about how other organizations are contributing to free software.

Again, if you or anyone else you know is part of a company or organization that has contributed to free software, let me know so I can write a blog post about them!

Thanks,

Rudolf Olah

I registered a domain name, set up the blog on wordpress.com and now I'm starting to fill out some basic content. The first thing I want to get done are two pages: one for developers and another for decision makers in organizations.

If anyone has suggestions on how to convince a decision maker, manager, CEO, etc. to allow source code contributions or to convince them to donate to a project, let me know, because to me it's the whole purpose of this enterprise ;p

Also, if you or anyone else you know is part of a company or organization that has contributed to free software, let me know so I can write a blog post about them! I'll post a link when there's some content up.

Thanks,
