Vintage Digital -- An Introduction

Posted Sun, 2009-12-27 22:54 by matthew

Noun 1. co-op - a jointly owned commercial enterprise (usually organized by farmers or consumers) that produces and distributes goods and services and is run for the benefit of its owners

Vintage Digital LLC is a software co-operative in the true sense of the word. I rather like the idea of our being a sort of group of farmers sowing open source seeds. Our group is made of developers, themers, information architects, designers, project managers, and technical architects.

It was founded as a company of independent contractors. The company structure is completely flat with each member having an equal say in how the company is run. Each of the company members have their own projects and clients. The company itself has a central group of clients which are collectively provided software services.

Some years back I became acquainted with Techsoup while working for a nonprofit as the Technology Director.  At the time I was grateful for inexpensive licenses for software we needed.  By the time I left that position, we planned software purchases around the Techsoup cycles.  It has been a valuable program for nonprofits in the United States and in Canada.

Looking for Opensource? SourceForge is a Buffet.

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?
