Reddit Goes Completely Open Source
Posted on June 18, 2008, under Development, Open Source, Software, Tools and Services.
Reddit has announced that they are going completely open 
source. A huge step for a company like Reddit, especially since last year they were acquired by Condé Nast.
Speculation on how Digg will respond has ben circulating, but really I do not expect Digg to match this notion. Digg has some 25 employees, and is more of an established company then Reddit who in the past has only had five people working on the code.
You can download the Reddit code at code.reddit.com .

@Mail Releases Open Source Version
Posted on May 19, 2008, under Email, Open Source, Tools and Services.
@Mail, an excellent mail application and server, has released an open source version. Last year, @Mail launched their PHP version from the PERL build, and recently the company renamed the company from CalaCode to @Mail. From the company:
We have released the open source edition of AtMail to further promote the usage of AtMail, offer users looking for “more” an upgrade path to the commercial AtMail version, and provide the open-source community a fresh look at Ajax Webmail.
Seems to be a lot of change at the company lately. Not sure if they are struggling with more and more companies outsourcing their mail services to companies like Microsoft, and Google. Kind of an interesting move.
