Google Summer of Code Update: Adium

Friday, November 3, 2006

Evan SchoenbergAdiumwriteupGSoC 2006studentGaimGet the code and have a look around before making time estimates. Parts of Adium are, to be honest, pretty spaghetti-like code. It's also a lot larger than most student projects. Having a feel for these issues will help you plan more accurately. Google Summer of Code is intended to be a full-time internship, demanding full-time hours; schedule your summer appropriately, as it will be fun but also hard work.

Google and Creative Commons

Wednesday, November 1, 2006

Creative Commons

ccHost, the engine that powers ccMixter, developed further support for more media types (audio, video, image, text). It also won the LinuxWorld Product Excellence Award for "Best Open Source Solution" in August 2006.

ccPublisher can connect to other media repositories (such as the Internet Archive), and has been localized.

Creative Commons established an open source developer's community, a portal for discussion lists, projects and challenges that focus on the standards and technology that support the Creative Commons licenses.

From January 2006 to July 2006, CC license linkbacks grew from 40,000,000 to 140,000,000, indicating a near exponential growth in CC license adoption.
