   Thanks to all who contributed responses, it has been quite interesting to see what people have written. While this is only a small sample of responses I've gone through and identified mentions of companies where people have expressed an in

   Also I really identify with what you put in the "Why" column. Are there any particular companies in your list that you feel match this more than others?

   Thanks for the response Ben. That's a really good point actually. In my initial responses I left off a couple of companies because I have known people who have worked there and then moved on. Not always because they didn't like the place,

   Awesome attitude. I've personally learned a lot looking through your code (amongst others). I think OS development helps create the craftsmanship side of software development. We all both mentors and students at the same time - genuinely c

    I opensource most of the code I write because I think it's one of the best accountability mechanisms that we have in coding. Just knowing that someone is going to be looking through my code makes me work harder to ensure it's "good". Getti

    I think what the guys is done is fair enough, although I can definitely see the point you are making. The thing for me about this that makes it more kickstarter like than ready for an online store presence is the fact that it's going to be

    The attraction for me is that although I've always been able to hack electronics and stuff (and did quite a bit when I was younger), I just don't have the time. I'm a software hacker through and through, and that's where I want to spend my

    I agree it does seem similar, and I backed both projects because I think these lightweight data collection devices have a big future. Definitely agree on getting some kind of standard API across the various devices, although I expect we are

    Having a look at Leaflet, I have to say it looks really good. It looks pretty capable of working with other map providers also, so I think it's a real option.

    I think that article does make a nice clear point, and while the ideas aren't worth that much in some regard, being a multiplicative factor is a pretty big deal.

    That's a fair point, but the point is I am already executing one of the things that I am passionate about. So following through is happening in that regard. But in the midst of that execution, there are other ideas that probably have a gen

    Absolutely gorgeous. Will be interested to see how our iOS version goes. I'm not sure if it will be of any help, but I have written an interaction "helper" library that is designed to make handling mouse and touch events consistent. If it

    I'm amazed that I haven't heard of unlicense.org before - I think it's definitely worth considering. I really don't have the need to have copyright notices maintained in what I write, so from a personal perspective it's completely compatib

    Sounds like a pretty nifty way of doing things, I might try running up an etherpad server at some stage and going down a similar track. I'm setting something up at a shell level using Jekyll ( http://jekyllrb.com/ ). Won't have the collabo

    If you are coming from a rails background then I would highly recommend having a look at Rhodes from Rhomobile ( http://rhomobile.com/ ). There's lots of good things going for it and it also offers in-roads to developing on devices outside
