A sneak peek into the Muttniks kennel.IntroductionLaunching a dapp may not be as hard as launching a rocket… but it’s no moonwalk, either. A dapp, portmanteau of “decentralized app,” is any app that runs on decentralized infrastructure, like on #ethereum. For your coding pleasure, our team is happy to present Muttniks, a friendly Ethereum #space doggo “kernel” (or kennel) that you can build from the comfort of your spacecraft. Muttniks is an open source sample dapp, built to guide you through our exciting journey with Astro Ledger. Like the real stars and planets featured on astroledger.org, you can securely adopt, name, and trade Ethereum space doggos with Muttniks (and then donate your testnet ETH to build more Laika monuments).

“Treat open source as open source treats you.”The Golden Rule is the principle of treating others as one’s self would wish to be treated. It is a maxim that is found in many religions and cultures and it is considered an ethic of reciprocity. It is expressed usually in the form: “One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.” If you think of open source as a business model, or culture, or religion, you will see that the Golden Rule applies here as well. If I were to phrase the Golden Rule of open source, I’d say: “Treat open source as open source treats you”.Image by Internet Archive Book ImagesReciprocity is behavior in which two people or groups of people give each other help and advantages. If you are using open source software, you are getting advantage from it. Here I (...)

February 1998 became one of the notable months in the software development community: The Open Source Initiative (OSI) corporation was founded and the open source label was introduced. The term represents a software development approach based on collaborative improvement and source code sharing. Prior to these events, Netscape shared a source code for its web browser, encouraging engineers worldwide to combine forces and improve the product’s newer versions.Since then, employees and startuppers have been using websites like SourceForge, Tigris, and later GitHub or Bitbucket for software download, distribution, and collaborative work.What is open source software?Open source software (OSS) is provided under a license that allows users to access, change, and improve its source code for (...)

▻https://hackernoon.com/software-is-meant-to-be-free-a-brief-history-of-open-source-892d29e803a0

‘Software is meant to be FREE.’ A Brief History of Open SourceThe term “Open Source”, although popular now — has only been defined as an actual term since it’s inception in the late 70’s and early 80’s. The open source #software movement came from a widespread revolution, completely altering how software was developed — leading to the most commonly accepted community generated software development method — widely accepted over the last 40 years.Initially, programmers could not come up with a good name for such an unusual idea or its possible applications. Software was always developed in house, by companies and conglomerates. However, the open source methodology quickly became (and still is) the most widely used software design and development method, lending us many popular and stable software (...)

The harsh #economics of open source

In the free market, the laws of supply and demand would suggest that the lower the price of something is, the easier it is to sell it — Based on this, you could infer that something which costs $0 and which delivers real value to its users would “fly off the shelves”.Unfortunately, this is rarely the case when it comes to open source #software. When applied to the software industry, the laws of supply and demand seem to break down in surprising ways.One unusual aspect of the industry is that the supply curve for software does not taper off as it gets closer to the $0 price point; even at that point, there is still a lot of competition — Not only between different open source projects but also between ‘free’ (ad-supported) software services.What is most surprising about the software industry (...)
