Knight Drupal Initiative - Grant Making Project

Posted Sun, 2008-10-05 20:02 by matthew

Grant-making isn't a cheap venture. Even if you are a re-granting agency (you are given money to give away), the overhead involved in running a grants program is significant. I want to help that change.

Nonprofits and Opensource

Posted Sun, 2008-03-02 14:25 by matthew

In both the nonprofit and opensource world, there is the notion of a "commons" in which each community benefits. The idea of nonprofit or not-for-profit as a name confuses people. Indeed, a nonproft can and should make a profit. At very least it should cover its yearly costs.

Looking for Opensource? SourceForge is a Buffet.

Posted Thu, 2007-05-10 03:29 by matthew

SourceForge.net is THE place to look for opensource software projects. As of the last time I checked, it had over 148,000 projects on the go with over 1.5 million users. That's a lot of programming muscle.

Some of the projects ask for donations--PhPMyAdmin is a good example. Some of the projects have become an industry standard--PhPMyAdmin is a good example.

What kinds of software projects can you find on SourceForge?
