Post of the First kind.
Wednesday, September 6th, 2006I’d like to take a second here to introduce the site.
As you may have noticed by the title of the site it has something to do with Source. And well let’s be honest there is really only one source worth talking about and its Open source.
If you don’t know Open Source, as will be discussed on this page, describes a piece of software that allows the code for the end product to be “free” and used to create new end products ect. ect. The software does not necessarily have to be free of charge, though in most cases it is. Usually this open source mentality fosters great communities around the product and can spawn some really great companion software or cool alternate version of the original software.
So with that said I am going to try to make this site “new user” friendly. I know that many tech sites can be dry and dense, so when I post about an topic or write a review I will do so from an end user side, meaning that I will talk less about the code and more about the uses of the software, and the community surrounding said open source product. This is where the sauce comes in. Meaning I hope to add some sauce to my rants, raves, and critiques of open source topics. Hopefully by doing so I can spread the word of open source like sauce on a burger, after you press down on the bun. So let the pressing of the bun begin.
Please feel free to post comments, rants, raves, and love letters. I myself love the letter X. A greatly under appreciated letter.
