(A web-based group calendar from SourceForge). He seems to be amazed that I got this "free", and wants to know more about open source. The only articles I have bookmarked are the ESR writings. I know there are other contrasting and opposing views out there. Has anyone got any handy URLs for the ethos behind creating/mantaining Open Source projects ?
