Google Launches Google Code
ibjhb writes "Google is at it again and has launched Google Code. It appears to be "Google's place for Open Source software". " Can't say that I'm surprised that our old friend (and former Slashdot Author) Chris DiBona is working on this one. They have links to several open source projects, as well as to Google API information.
Freshmeat just got a 'best if used by' date.

Gee, I've always been pretty good at that!
Well, I guess we'll be seeing alot of duplicate projects posted there.

I hadn't seen a Google story in a couple of days, I was starting to suffer withdrawal.
I'm not good in groups. It's difficult to work in a group when you're omnipotent. - Q

EagerEyes.org: Visualization and Visual Communication
That's pretty much the opposite of the problem I usually have.
C'mon Bowie, you know that you can't resist trolling Chris DiBona. Let us know about how Google Code was all your idea until he stole it from you!
Do you even know anything about perl? -- AC Replying to Tom Christiansen post.

I guess they can expect a nastygram from Stallman any day now.
So would this site only contain porn or something else too?
This sig is funny.
Nope, they're both just obese white virgins.

He really is this fat

"We're going to feature a new one every week or so and we'll send a fabulous, always fashionable, t-shirt to the maintainers as a small way of saying thank you!" anyone seen the pic. where a dud is holdig a poster that say "I well do html for food"
We are all familiar with the indisputable benefits of open source. At this point, anyone who's still hung up on the lack of solid statistical evidence to support this obvious truth just doesn't get it.
There can also be no doubt that Google is a true believer (rather than simply trying to exploit the goodwill of the OSS community). Therefore, I propose that Google open source its search algorithms. Millions of eyeballs helping to improve the system: fixing bugs, adding features, increasing performance...what could be better!
I'm sure once Google gets wind of this idea, they will begin implementing it immediately. Do you want me to call them or do one of you guys want to do it?
Uh oh...
I am defenseless. Use your button. Mod me down with all of your hatred.
Apache, which has had a grand total of one article in all of 2005.
What? You mean there was no dupe for Apache yet?
Shit editors, what are you doing!?!
I'm pretty hooked on the Picasa photo organizer from Picasa. It's only missing one thing: an extension to upload photos to your Flickr account.
I'd like to see some work done on this.
Thanks Russ!

google, thankful for all the free publicity it gets on slashdot, is planning to launch slashdot.google.org...
This is a scaled-back version of the approach taken by the best pure R&D labs: Hire very smart people and then don't give them any specific assignments beyond "Do something new and interesting."
Given the large number of major thing discovered by pure accident . Maybe you would be better off hiring a bunch of incompetent idiots and carefully watching what happens when you tell them do something difficult.
