I would like to take this opportunity, perhaps, as we approach the Passover season, to make some suggestions for Commandments that future generations of technologists and technology companies wishing to pursue Open Source community activities might want to follow.
During the Ubuntu Live 2007 conference, Matt Asay of Alfresco Software had presented the ten commandments of open-source software. Below are the notable slides from his presentation.
Finally, the Bible study software, SwordSearcher that is designed by Bible Believers for Bible Believers can run on your Mac or Linux system. You no longer have to miss out on the fast and powerful Bible search, the innovative verse guide technology and the huge reference library that only SwordSearcher has.
I was fortunate to keynote this year's Ubuntu Live conference. I rarely give the same presentation twice, as I figure people are paying to hear something new.
One event was the posting of "The 10 Commandments for New Linux Users", which really deserves to be carved in stone and delivered from a mountain. And you can tell from the comments: flamers, trollers, and 1337 N00Bz, oh my! You can always tell when a great truth has been spoken on the Internet, because 1000 dung-flinging howler monkeys immediately show up to scream it down.
Sometimes we in the Linux "world" get a bit carried away with a piece of software. We get into out little geek niches and form clubs and setup forums. We have fun with it. Sometimes though, we get a bit "too" carried away. When you live in a digital world and you begin to spend too much time online, the line between reality and virtual reality can get hazy.
Some Bible study programs are gratis, but not libre. Others cost $30, right on up to hundreds of dollars - and that's just for the base modules. Worse, most of these programs can only run on one or two operating systems.
Gnomesword is a bible study tool for Linux. Latest version known as Xiphos will available now, But I have tested gnomesword and found it is good and stable. By default it is in arabic bible with english commentary. It is open-source software, and available free-of-charge to all.
