Top 10 Open Source Tools For E-Activism.

Good article today listing the "Top 10 Open Source Tools for eActivism". Some of these I hadn't even heard of before (like ActionApps, completely new to me).

Open source tools are a natural fit for e-activism, since they are born of the same bootstrap, grassroots mentality as a good e-activist campaign. Plus, they're free :-) Or at least cheap -- and often far better in quality than their commercial counterparts. [Seen on Many-to-Many]

Top 10 Open Source Tools for eActivism

Dan Bashaw and Mike Gifford have put together a terrific list of Open Source tools that can be used by activists to spread the message and promote interaction by enewsletters, forums, blogs, wikis and epetitions. They wrote an article for Steven Clift's excellent Democracies Online Newswire.

IBM Adopts Open Development Internally: "Following on the success of its Eclipse open-source development platform, IBM has quietly been using a form of open-source development internally to create technology the company will sell commercially.

IBM calls its model Community Source, which it defines as a collaborative, internal, open-source-style environment for developing and testing new technology.

Danny Sabbah, vice president of strategy and technology for the IBM Software Group, in Armonk, N.Y., said IBM is using its Community Source model across 100 projects and 2,000 developers in the company. These projects span the IBM Software Group, Systems Group, Research and Global Services, he said."

Very interesting. I'd like to learn more about that. What parts of the so called open source development process have they built into the Community Source model? I've found that most developers have different definitions of the open source development process (via Ross Gardler).
