We've been busy collaborating. The movement is open source culture and we have an issue to prove it.





Our feature articles include many projects dispersed across collaborative environments: designing the Fedora logo, building a non-proprietary house, and giving every child a laptop. Yes, the community has heady goals, and the efforts include forging ahead with the Open Invention Network and Fedora Ambassadors. We hope you'll also support innovative ways to maintain copyright with the Creative Commons annual fundraiser. Then there's music to code by, dual monitors, and dual operating systems... Enjoy. And let us know what you think...

Sincerely,

Red Hat Magazine http://info.redhat.com/a/tBDqJncAUfRoFAbdny4AVHSdmln/rhmg10

Open source isn't just for software anymore--people in all walks of life are recognizing that transparency and collaboration are effective ways of doing business.
