A variety of apps out there, like Firefox, Fring, Skype run on a variety of platforms. How do they manage their code? Do they have different UI for different platforms? As in, Firefox have to use Cocoa on Mac, WinForms or equivalent on Windows, QT equivalent on Linux. How is it possible for the same source code to show diff UI just by co...
I am looking for a new source control solution. We are currently using an ancient version of VSS, and it sucks. This will be used by only me for now, and at most two or three others in the future. I would like it to be usable from within VS 2008. It has to be free. Our company is not buying any new software due to the economic downtur...

Other than large entities sponsoring a project, such as the Apache foundation, what are other ways that full-time open source developers (specifically those on products offered free of charge) receive funding for their projects?

I'm looking to speed up things like scaling a 512x512 array of doubles. Vector dot products, matrix multiplication etc. So far the only one I found is: http://simdx86.sourceforge.net/ but as t...
I am spending too much time researching reporting tools. My setup is a (SugarCRM) MySQL database on a wamp server (or maybe it is lamp - I'm not sure yet), but likely to need other environments also. Clients are mostly WinXP, but could have a Mac or two. Would prefer a program like Crystal Reports, but free. Requirements are: easy...

I've got a framework for PHP that I've developed for about 3 weeks total, but it's quite ready to be released ... if I choose to do so. In this economy I cannot just take what I have done and release it for free and feel just (because I need the money it could garner), and yet I am torn by my appreciation for open source projects. I wa...

Friends, I'm seeking your input to help me think about my next opensource project. I have two ideas, either one of which I'd like to do, probably using Java as the primary language, just as a matter of preference. I'd particularly like to know whether either is already being done, so that I don't duplicate work, and whether or not you...
I have learned c++ about three years and I have not used c++ in an actual project. I only used it to write some small program and example, I have read many books about c++ and algorithm, "c++ primer", "effective c++" "exceptional c++" "c++ common knowledge" " introduction to algorithm" ..., so I want to use it in an open source project t...
If one is releasing the source only for a 'derived work' under the GPL, is it adequate to release only the code one wrote, or must one include the source for any libraries used. I made some software as a student without understanding the full implications of the GPL (I figured using GPL code was fine so long as my program was noncommerc...
After reading a recent Slashdot article I couldn't help asking myself if there is a hub for collaboration between open-source projects and computer science teachers.

I'm building a project that uses source from a project that's been built from a project that uses code under MIT and GNU licences. What steps do I need to take to make sure that the source has the correct licence files in the right places? The project in question is a php plugin for another app, not an executable. ...
There seems to be a frequent trend in the growing open source world to number releases as 0.x even if they are to be treated as a major release. In some cases, there may not even be compatibility between two minor releases. Can anyone help me understand if there's a good reason or rationale for doing this in certain cases, or is it jus...
