How to do open research: 5 basic principles Posted: 21 Mar 2012 04:00 AM PDT Some folks at UNICEF asked me to help them articulate a process for how to make their research projects (usually "is this program we want to do a feasible one?" or "what was the impact of this program we did?" into open content ones.

Facebook C# SDK submitted to the Outercurve Foundation Posted: 20 Mar 2012 09:28 AM PDT I am pleased to announce another open source milestone as we continue to deliver on our commitment to Interoperability: today, the Facebook C# SDK was submitted to the Outercurve Foundation's Data, Languages, and Systems Interoperability gallery. This project is a set of libraries that enables developers of all Microsoft platforms, as well as Mono, to build applications that integrate with Facebook. The project contains core libraries for authentication and calling Facebook APIs. Additionally, the project contains platform specific helpers such as extension methods for ASP.NET MVC. The Facebook C# libraries give app developers a stable, small-footprint SDK that enables quick app integration into Facebook. This has allowed mobile and web app developers to quickly create Facebook apps that meet the needs of their customers. The Facebook C# SDK has had 10 major releases, and has been downloaded more than 115,000 times, proving to be one of the most popular community-driven open source projects in the .Net ecosystem. The project, which already has a significant user base, was hosted on CodePlex.com but has moved to github, with developer discussions supported on Stack Overflow. Nathan Totten, Jim Zimmerman and Prabir Shrestha developed the Facebook C# SDK and contributed the project to the Outercurve Foundation, which currently has three galleries and 21 projects, each of which was contributed with funding and resources to support the project and/or gallery for a period of three years. Of the 225 developers who currently contribute to Outercurve projects, fewer than 45% are employed by Microsoft.
