A Fedora Repository Dance

Ithaca, NY The process of open source software development has been called a lot of things–collaborative, transparent, unwieldy, community-driven, cost effective, innovative, but never before a “dance.” This may be because it is a novel idea to visualize open source code development as a series of complex and sometimes dramatic movements between and among people and infrastructure as they engage in the ongoing evolution of dynamic software.

For Your Repository Browsing Pleasure: “Graphic Novels and Comic Books”

Ithaca, NY Comic books and graphic novels–picture books for adults–have come a long way. Although “Archie” comic books of the 1950s era were reflections of current popular culture themes, newer varieties are complex blends of social commentary and evocative graphic representations that speak volumes using words and pictures to make the whole truly greater than the sum of its parts.
