Apropos Open Source Methodologies

Submitted by Armin Medosch on Thu, 04/10/2008 - 17:30

When we first started to circulate the call for taxi-to-praxi some of the reactions which I got in private email were of the kind "open source methodology, what's that supposed to be?" - "there is no such things", " etc. Since that moment I thought aha, we are on to something and I should write something about it. This is now not the all conclusive article, but a forum posting, improvised and unfinished.

It would be easy now to come up with references to the so called "hacker ethics". you can get the basic idea from this wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_ethic

This is an image of a youthful Billy Reid, well known in the 1930ies as bandleader of Billy Reid and his piano accordion orchestra. Billy started out as a boiler maker apprentice in the Southampton docks.

Anyone who can bung me some tunes from Billy is very welcome.

These are some of the artefacts from the Physics department that are contained in the University Museums Collection in Dundee. The artefacts date from the nineteenth century to the 1970's and were mainly used for demonstration rather than research purposes.
