In my Copious Free Time, I collaborate with a number of scientists (mostly biologists) who develop software, databases, and other tools related to the work they do. Generally these projects are built on a one-off basis, used in-house, and eventually someone decides "oh, this could be useful to other people," so they release a binary or s...
Whenever I start learning a new technology or language I tend to look at the source code of some 'real-world' applications. I find them really useful for understanding common, technology specific architecture, idioms and how/what popular libraries are used. I've recently started learning ASP.NET MVC, but haven't really found good open so...
I just found some nice open-source code at The Code Project and it's attached with the BSD License. Well, the article states in the end that the code is licensed under the BSD License. But none of the source code files had any reference to the license, they have some copyright text though. The download also didn't come with some kind of ...

I am seeking to provide an improved backup solution for departmental resource...
I'd like to know if there is some open source web front-end for databases. I'd like something where queries can be executed from a web browser, only read-only queries are fine. If possible it would be great to be able to select with a gui the columns that are displayed as the result of the query. As several people asked me, I use Oracle...

I'm starting a software project that I'd ultimately like to release as free, open-source and free of charge. My software makes use of other free/open-source software, like Markdown (released under a BSD license), Blueprint CSS (released under an MIT license), and others that use various licenses (GPL, etc.). Some are copyleft, some are ...

I was pretty surprised to find out that raw sources of my little open source project are getting downloaded more often than the compiled and ready to use library (jar file in this case, platform independent). I wonder what are the reasons behind that? Lack of trust? Curiosity? Compiling with custom settings? Attaching sources for debuggi...

I'm a developer on the Synergy+ project, and today we received our first donation! Now, I did write at one point that we would spend the money on advertising, in order to find new developers - but I'm not really sure how to go about this, or if it's the best way to spend the donations. We would spend it on hosting, only we use only canne...
