The History and Philosophy of Open Source The open source movement was born in 1984, at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab when Richard M. Stallman quit his position at the university to begin the GNU Project. Having grown tired of seeing his colleagues being hired off by corporations and signing nondisclosure agreements for their work, he set off to create a completely free, open operating system. Though he specialized in the field, building such a system from the ground up is nearly impossible

secondary and fictional sources affect the credibility, perspective and information resulting in varying strengths and weaknesses of these sources. These sources include propaganda, photographs, newspapers, journals, books, magazine articles and letters. These compilations allow individuals to better understand the facts, feeling and context of the home front and battlefield of World War 2. Primary data is data, which is collected by the researchers themselves. Primary sources enable the researcher

in the theory of democracy and open society; “with enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow” is merely the most obvious example. Karl Popper would have cheered.57 The importance of open-source software is not that it introduces us to a wholly new idea; it is that it makes us see clearly a very old idea. With open source the technology was novel, the production process was transparent, and the result of that process was a “product” which out-competed other products in the marketplace. “How can this have

There are many different types of information sources each characterised by different conventions and target viewers. Scholarly sources spread research and academic discussion among professional within disciplines. Non-scholarly sources notify and entertain the public for example popular sources such as newspapers and magazines or allow practitioners to share business, practice and production information for example trade sources such as non-refereed journals published for people working in the teaching

Primary sources refer to accounts of events that are written by an eye witness who witness that particular event. These documents are more often letters, memoirs, diaries, speeches, interviews, journals and other unpublished works of people who witness events. Primary sources may also include pieces such as magazine articles; newspapers and other published pieces as long as they were written as soon as the event took place. The secondary sources on the other hand play the role of interpreting the

Primary sources are typically original documents that offer an inside view of that particular event. This primary source is a picture of a statute which allows us to assume that it’s to represent a hero of some sort, so he was an important figure in his time. We can also assume the time period based on his clothing; the clothes he has on can be associated with a time way before any of us were born. Upon other research, I have concluded that this statue is of Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, who was

Analysis of Sources The purpose of this paper is to summarize and analyze the quality and reliability of articles from certain sources. The articles are about injuries in nursing, and ways to prevent them. The method was to find two sources that seemed questionable and two that seemed reliable, briefly discuss the topics and summarize the articles, and then analyze them. I have found that although two of the sources seemed questionable and two of them seemed reliable, three of the sources are actually

This investigation will answer the question To what extent are the stories from the Holocaust survivors with PTSD reliable as historical sources? This question is important because there are still holocaust survivors alive today, and their stories are arguably the ones that teach us he most about the Holocaust, since they are primary sources of the event. The survivors dealt with a lot of physical and emotional trauma while in the camps, so it would be easy for them to procure PTSD. The mental

Primary sources are original source created or compiled during an observation or event. These documents are raw materials which provide first-hand accounts or direct evidence about a topic under the examination. Primary sources, according to William Kelleher Storey in Writing History: A Guide for Students, “originate in the time period that historian are studying and vary a great deal.” Primary source documents can help reconstruct a particular event that happened in the past. For example, if someone
