Community
February 3rd, 2010
Open source software is all about the idea of community.
The concept that more people contributing to small parts to one common goal will create something exceedingly better then a project created by an individual. This is the reason why at Floodlight we are PHP developers and contribute to the open source community as much as possible.
This week the largest PHP web application made a huge contribution to the open source community. Facebook has spent the last 2 years re-writing PHP to make it run 10x faster then it currently does. Now that they have completed the project they released the code to the open source community. They hope that all the developers that access it make their release that much better and find new ways to utilize this technology.
This concept applies to business as well. How are you investing in your business community? How can you help your partners?

Your showcase of websites is awesome! I especially liked the Wiley eReader and site with snow fall graphs because the interactivity made the data so customized. It was like having my own database to filter and get what I wanted. Keep up the great work!
