Join the M Revolution

Luis Ibáñez | OpenSource.com | February 2, 2012

M is a multi-user, strongly imperative language designed to manipulate and control massive databases. It is used in the high availability, high reliability niche of the computer market—which includes banking and hospitals.

Joseph Kony 2012: It's Fine to 'Stop Kony' and the LRA. But Learn to Respect Africans.

Semhar Araia | Christian Science Monitor | March 8, 2012

Predictions 2012 – The View From an Open Source Foundation

Paula Hunter | Open Source Delivers | January 11, 2012

Projects aimed at improving health IT will continue to spark interest, and those funded and fostered at the government level have the best chance of widespread adoption. Some of the largest healthcare initiatives are open source, and funded at the federal level for several years to come. Thus they can ride out the financial and regulatory uncertainty currently plaguing our HC industry. I do expect that on the back end of these projects there is great commercial opportunity.
