Is there a simple database program to let me collect, sort, tag, and reguritate trivia questions and answers? If something already exists in Open Source, can you point me to that? I have assembly programming skills (cue jokes) but not so much in the Perl,LINQ,Delphi,VB, C#, Java arena. ...
So, I've spent enough time using ASP.NET webforms to know that I'd almost rather go back to doing classic ASP than use them. But I'm hesitant to move to ASP.NET MVC until it becomes more mature. Are there any open source alternatives? The main thing I'm looking for is something that's easy to learn and to get a prototype up and runnin...

Well, I must be brain-damaged, because I can't find the java source for Sun's persistence.jar or JBoss's ejb3-persistence.jar JPA package. They are open-source aren't they? I looked all over the java.sun.com site as well as the GlassFish wiki, but came up empty. I'd like a src.zip or folder like Sun delivers with Java JDKs. Of course...
What design considerations must be taken when writing software for content-distribution systems, such as managing the synchronisation and distribution of data, redirecting downloads to the nearest servers and so on? I am also looking for examples of open source CDN (content delivery network) software. I can think of two projects, CoralC...
Most popular open source projects seem to use C or C++. I'm looking for a widely used and complex open source project that uses C#. Any suggestions? My preference would be for projects that are developer tools. ...
For quite some time now it has been argued that open-source, or some close derivative of open-source is the fastest way to improve upon an application. However, I have not really taken the time to think through closed-source, and the advantages of a closed development process and codebase. I suppose some of these advantages could also be...
My C# Protocol Buffers Port uses github for its source control, and I'm beginning to really enjoy using git. However, as far as I can tell, github doesn't provide any project management tools: defect and feature tracking, discussions, feature requests, docs etc. Given my affiliations, Google Code would be a natural choice, but it would s...
Contributing to open source can have many forms: working with issue trackers, patches, further development, documenting, funding, etc. Assuming your company uses open source projects, what is the single most important reason why you're not contributing back to the community? ...
I'm one of the developers an founders of Ra-Ajax which is Open Source and Free of Charge (LGPL licensed, hosted at Google Code) and I have a lot of reasons to do what I do, which is to spend most of my time maintaining an Open Source project which I earn close to ZIP money on. Some of my intentions are that I want Open Web to win, I wan...
Hi, I hope I don't get flagged for asking this here. Does anyone know of any Purchase Order system written in .net (opensource)? Thanks Edit ~ Web or desktop based is fine. If the source code is available (opensource) I could handle the integration. The backend can be SQL Server or mySQL, I'd prefer SQL Server. ...
I know many developers won't even touch LGPL but only use MIT or New BSD licensed libraries. But exactly HOW many? I would use LGPL in my own projects, am I "alone" or "close to alone"...? The platform I am most interested in knowing about it .Net developers... As in; "How many percent of the world's .Net developers would use an LGPL ...
I am looking for a bells and whistles CSS framework. I have found a number online that deal with "grids", and some that deal with "typography" and others that deal with "resetting". What I have not found is something that will give my web applications a consistent reusable style or theme. I guess it would have to have a number of prede...
I'm new to .NET and I would like to participate with .NET community to grow my skills (selfish, I know), contribute something (not so selfish) and I thought its just nice to be part of a community. I can start a blog but considering I'm a beginner I can't possibly post anything worthwhile. How about opensource projects? Are there ways t...
What are the pros and cons of adopting Open Source software for an organisation? Is there anybody out there who has done this and how well has it been working out with some examples of the softwares they adopted and how it has been in use? Usually contributions come because people do it as a hobby, then how can we make sure that there w...
I'm interested in selectively parsing Mediawiki XML markup to generate a customized HTML page that's some subset of the HTML produced by the actual PHP Mediawiki render engine. I want it for BzReader, an offline Mediawiki compressed dump reader written in C#. So a C# parser would be ideal, but any good code would help. Of course, if n...
I'm researching Open Source GIS resources - and wonder out of all the Open Source tools that are out there - what people are actually using / finding useful. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIS_software ...

Hi, I'm in need of a distributed file system that must scale to very large sizes (about 100TB realistic max). Filesizes are mostly in the 10-1500KB range, though some files may peak at about 250MB. I very much like the thought of systems like GFS with built-in redundancy for backup which would - statistically - render file loss a thing...
