Free and Open Source Movements, Part 1: History and Philosophies - George Siemens
This article reviews the development and need for Free and Open Source movements in software development. Part 1 provides a global overview of climates and conditions that fostered the revolution. The climate in software development in 1984 is being mimicked in education today - closing doors, content as individual property, proprietary offerings, and for-profit challenges to the education environment. Part 2 (to be released March 8) calls for a similar revolution in the field of educational content and will announce the formation of an organization committed to fostering Open Source content development.
