Providing Open Software
Posted on September 23rd, 2004 in Personal | Comments
My GPS tracking project is rolling along. Every day I get that much closer to selling it. I designed this thing to beat everyone else in the market. One of the greatest adavantages is that it has an open endded interface to allow other developers to integrate our product into the system. I wish I could give the project out under some open source licence but I need to make a living some how and I’m pretty sure the company I am doing this for might not like that. I’m not sure if I would really want to give out as open source.
I spend a lot of time writing software in my free time to give back to the open source community in the form of patches and helping people with thier issues using Debian in the #debian channel on irc.freenode.net. My next project will be porting software I wrote in the past as little “do-dads” for the Microsoft .NET framework. Maybe I might start my old SNMP .NET project back up.
Who knowns?
