To me, the strongest arguments for open source software are (1) people should own their own data (or programs in this case), I don't want to leave anybody high and dry if Irie Tools goes away (2) effeciency (faster, better, cheaper, etc).<br /><br />Having said all of that the best candidates to be open source are the Irie Pascal Runtime engine (not the compiler), and StrongLib Foundation. I am considering releasing the source code for the runtime engine, mainly because I could have fewer supported platforms while not abandoning the existing platforms. That decision will be made when Irie Pascal 3.0 is released. The first release of StrongLib Foundation will probably not be open source.<br /><br />As far as open source commnunities go, I am a big big fan of The Apache Foundation, maximum respect to them, so I would really really want to be associated with them.Stuart Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320874168973864206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564727807675329457.post-65599938876847490112009-10-21T17:46:54.229-05:002009-10-21T17:46:54.229-05:00Can you say at what point will the opensouce commu...Can you say at what point will the opensouce community see Irie Pascal and StrongLib being available for other programmers to contribute and accelerate their development and adoption?<br /><br />Also, which opensource community will you associate these projects with?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
