IBM to Open Projects at SourceForge.net

Posted by Zonk on from the go-big-blue dept.

cfelde writes "On Friday, IBM said it is contributing some 30 open-source projects to SourceForge.net. IBM also said it is expanding its own developerWorks Web site with more resources including training in PHP and other popular technologies." This probably dovetails with IBM's new full on support of the PHP language.

    It "hypes up" your work.

    Suddenly, your "hello world" CGI script is a "highly virtualized, service-oriented architecture, scalable to grid computing."

    "Yes, there is MS Research but it's in no way comparable to IBM Research."

    No kidding, specially when you have research like this at IBM:

    "Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Quantum Computing"

    vs Research like this at MS:


    "Turn Your Photos into Movies
    Researchers from the lab in Beijing have developed a system that can take your still photographs and automatically convert them into motion."
