What key reasons for software developers can you list so they will decide to make their products as open source (I don't mean products just for fun but real products)?
I am aware of other solutions like System.Data.Sqlite or Firebird through Dblinq, but since nothing beats SQL Compact Edition (integration-wise) with Visual Studio, I would like to use it and to know if its license allows its usage in Open Source projects.
Thanks.
In a Unix world I've been happily using gdb for debugging and valgrind for memory analyzation.
Are there open-source quality alternatives for Windows?
I'm looking for lightweight pieces of software that do what you need, and never get in your way (just like gdb and valgrind).
What if I think, that I found a bug in an open-source-app? What steps can I do, to provide as much helpful information for the programmers, as possible? And how I report best, to avoid to be annoying for the programmers?
I open-sourced a tool I created to scratch an itch. From the downloads for the installer on the project page I can see I'm not the only one interested. About 5 people seem to have upgraded from the previous version. But I know next to nothing about them.
Do I need a news group? A mailing list? Or how would you start to build a (little) community?

I am a senior in Computer Science. I want to be part of some open source project. I don't know what's available out there. Can anybody guide me?
I'm good with Java, not that great with C and C++, but I know both. I also know some Cincom Smalltalk.
Or if anyone has something good that they're working on I could help.
I found lot of open source XML databases (TPOX, Timber , DBXML), but they are working on XPath and XQuery, I need a system which is developed for the purpose of "Keyword search on XML documents".
Hi Chaps,
Currently I am using SWFDOTNET libray for reading and writing swf file,which supports swf file from version 1 to 7.
Is there any other open C# source lib for reading and writing swf flash which supports swf file version 8,9 and 10?
Please reply..I am really in need of it.
Thanks in advance,

Seems most open source projects in C/C++ only provide the source code,i.e. nginx
Is this a convention that anyone interested in joining the developing team should figure out the .sln/.project files himself to qualify??
High,
I need to do some image manipulations on CT volume images. Mainly segmentations.
Which open-source library supports 3D algorithms - Filtering, edge detection, deformable objects and so ?
Language is not an issue at the moment.

I manage a team of six programmers, working on diverse systems. We work in an open plan office, with members sitting in cubicles. A lot of people on these forums are big on private offices, but that is not an option for me. But I was wondering if there were ideas for other ways to improve and energize the working environment and experience. One suggestion is more plants.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
More and more medium-sized and small enterprises would like eCommerce website to sell their products or services. Free and open source project should be the first choice. I found out the nopCommerce is a good option, you could see the detailed analysis.
Hot on the heels of the release of ASP.NET MVC 2 yesterday , I’m happy to announce that we are releasing the source code to ASP.NET MVC 2 under the Ms-PL license , an OSI approved Open Source license. This continues the trend from nearly a year ago when Read More......(read more)
Not strictly a Stack Overflow thing, but I thought I'd get it out there and ask the question. What are you as a programmer going to do to improve in 2011? The things I am planning to do are as follows:
Learn Functional Programming
Write 100 blog posts
Take a bunch of Microsoft exams (70-433, 70-511, 70-513, 70-515, 70-516, 70-518, 70-519)
Contribute to an open source project
Lets hope the motivation lasts all year!
I understand that the "mm" suffix [in various GTK-associated C++ binding libraries] means "minus minus," but where exactly does it come from?
I understand that there is a programming language called "C--," but if there were bindings (and I'm pretty sure I've seen some), they would be suffixed "--".
TL;DR: Is there some page on gnu.org that explains the "mm" suffix in various C++ bindings or is it just a de facto standard adopted by the open source community with no reasoning behind it?
Something I've noticed over the past few weeks is how many big commercial websites use jQuery combined with lots of plugins - but don't admit it. They will rename the main library to something obscure, as well as the plugins. Quite a few will even remove the comments that contain the MIT/GPL license information. (just noticed today that odeon.co.uk have done exactly this)
Why are they doing this? are they abashed by the face that they are using a free and open source library?
are there any open-source VGA drivers
i seem to remember that back when i was using 10.10 or an older one
that people where writing some opensource vga drivers for linux but i can't
seem to find a webpage for that project? i was wondering cause i like the idea
and want to install it and report bug fixes cause ubuntu
with opensource VGA drivers somehow I find the idea to be fun
and who knows maybe they will be even better/stable than the proprietary versions
Are there any open source libraries/projects which work in a similar way to http://www.tagattitude.fr/en/products/technology?
I am trying to understand the process. At first I thought this could work like when you send a fax to a fax machine.
It is basically using the mobile phone’s microphone as a captor and its audio channel as a transporter.
Are there any libraries for generating the signal and then being able to decode it?
The Ubuntu wiki describes the "sections" of the official Ubuntu repositories as follows:
Main - Officially supported software.
Restricted - Supported software that
is not available under a completely
free license.
Universe - Community maintained
software, i.e. not officially
supported software.
Multiverse - Software that is not
free.
I thought that software in the Ubuntu repositories had to be open source, however doesn't the description of the Multiverse directly contradicts this?
AspectF is an open source utility which offers separation of concerns in fluent way. I am personally a big fan as well as contributor of this project. It is very simple, easy to implement, and an excellent way to incorporate regular everyday logics into your business code from one single class, AspectF. I have added couple of new features to it, which are yet to be committed to the source control. However, here’s one feature that I have introduced today is to be able to write VB-like with keyword...(read more)
Its hard to believe that there aren't a ton of awesome third party (possibly open source) libraries out on the web for android using java but, I cant say I have found a great many so far but, droid seems like the only notable one I've come across. Any other majorly useful android libraries out there? Sorry in advanced if there is a dupe out there somewhere (seems like there should be) but if there is by all means post it and let me know.
