contribution of code is not allowed?
Hi,
I did a FOSS event in my college days. Its been 8 years the college still does the event every year. Now if you count that as a contribution to FOSS, i deny. I strongly deny.
So what is the contribution to FOSS and how do you begin it. 1. Installation of Linux or BSD 2. using VI ir Emacs or Anjuta 3. using gc++ instead of pirated TurboC 4. using php & mysql 5. Learn Ruby faster than learning Java 6. Announcing making of some small utility on based on FOSS technologies
Did you know that SriLanka has contributed more to FOSS than India.

they have about 10 times the apache committers than India. Sahana - a world class disaster management software comes from there - our guys are still discussing how to write disaster management software.

And RMS says "its about your freedom ". So make sure if you can't code (all are not programmers ) make sure that you make as many people aware of free as in freedom as possible.

Please don't show me that you don't know how to reply in maining list. And, unfortunately, 'Show Me The Code' is the most wrongly used phrase in FOSS history.

how does learning Ruby instead of java contribute to FOSS? isnt java open sourced now? and i think turbo c is freeware

Java is, well, almost open source now. and by the way turbo c is freeware but not free software. I don't get source code of turbo c and I don't have any rights to modify it if at all some one offers it to me. And turbo c is just a compiler. For windows you have MinGW which comes with the free gcc compiler.

Still the question, how "learning Ruby faster than Java" contributes to FOSS is unanswered....

So what is the contribution to FOSS and how do you begin it.

- Learn Ruby faster than learning Java
- Announcing making of some small utility on based on FOSS technologies
and 7, sharing software with people and telling them "what I just gave you is free as in freedom. If it is good for you then there is no reason not to use it and if it has some problem, then report it or try helping to fix it ". This is the most important point because people will obviously compare proprietory vs free software on quality terms. What they don't realise is how fast a free software can develop and might even go past their favorite proprietory software. sheer comfort and craze for advanced features (which most users rarely need) is not always the important point to consider when choosing a software.
Happy hacking. Krishnakant.
