Open Source Code - Matt Gemmell
december 2011 by ohskylab
"I strongly encourage releasing reusable portions of your code - it’s the lifeblood of the developer community. Over the years, I’ve put together a set of best practices for releasing open source code, to make life easier partly for yourself but mainly for those who will use your code."

Forking is a Feature - Anil Dash
october 2010 by ohskylab
"Part of the predicate for forks being so disruptive was the idea that there is One True Version — a creation, like a piece of software, a written work, or anything else, that can only be accurately represented by a single ideal expression [...] Until a git named Linus changed that." Worth poking through the comments.

The Free Music Philosophy as adopted by Irdial~Discs
june 2010 by ohskylab
"The idea is similar to the notion of Free Software, and like with freeware, the word “free”refers to freedom, not price. Specifically, Free Music means that any individual has the freedom of copying, distributing, and modifying music for personal, noncommercial purposes. Free Music does not mean that record labels and musicians cannot charge for records, tapes, CDs, or files."
