Hello all
I just wanted to share a link that I just found. It
seems that Facebook is running a campaign to encourage Computer Science students
to earn academic credits by contributing to opensource projects:
I don't think Facebook should be allowed to do
this. Imagine Facebook tried to pry its way into Wikimedia: I would expect all
of us to revolt. A for-profit organization taking advantage of non-profit
ideals??? MAKING PROFIT on non-profit? Would they even consider
converting THEIR project into an open-source one? Of course not. Don't
Mozilla and other Open Source Projects have ways of campaigning to attract
CompSci students in their own organisations? Why does Facebook have to be
the middleman? I find it revolting... if this is their idea of corporate social
responsibility, I'll have to find away to stop using Facebook altogether in
reply.
