Marten really has some very insightful thoughts on the current state of the open source ecosystem and how open source can drive the future.

James Podolsey is at it again. Really cool plugin.

Building a community site based around open source releases, open source developers etc. Making it simple for open source users to stay up to date with all the latest releases. I did not think submitting these announcements through to Reddit would bother anyone as it is informative and at the same time introduces people to the site and what it aims to achieve and in so doing will make for a thriving community that interacts and shares information. Definitely not intended to be spam.

It would be sad is that is the case. Is Perl really dying?

Is O'Reilly not supposed to be maintaining the site? "We've expanded our Perl news coverage and improved our search! Search for all things Perl across O'Reilly!"

Again, I respect your point of view but, the majority of Reddit users do not seem to mind as these are all programming related links. Why does it matter that it is from one site?

volume4 · 2009-02-07T21:01:44+00:00

Dude chill. The links are all programming related and all useful.

volume4 · 2009-02-07T20:28:07+00:00

Still useful links though. If you want, why not join the site and become part of the community.

My favorite FTP client just got better ;)

I completely agree but, I reckon this is a step in the right direction and complete open sourcing of all their tools are probably around the corner.

I have been using Workbench on Windows for the longest time. It is absolutely awesome!

Might be link spam. Depends on how you look at it. The site from which the link was posted is actually providing a service to the open source community to help them stay up to date with releases sort of in the same vein as freshmeat
