Hi Folks, the Foundation was recently approached by BlackDuck Software [0] to participate in the rather enormous 8th Annual Future of Open Source Software Survey [1]. I ended up participating on behalf of the project and we've now been invited to contribute a blog post which will feature on BlackDuck's Open Source Deliver's blog [2][3]... which i think is pretty cool. The focus and scope of the blog post is as follows
"Contributed posts typically range in length from 300-900 words (but a little more or less is acceptable), and focus on the enablement/adoption/benefits of open source software. We take care of finding a cover image for the blog (unless the author has one in mind) and require a brief bio and a headshot for our contributors page. We (BlackDuck) can also conduct interviews to be crafted into contributed posts by the interviewee or posted Q&A style under the name of a Black Duck contributor, if your team prefers." For those attending ApacheCon next month I think it would be an excellent opportunity for us to knock our heads together and thrash something out, however this is entirely open to the whole community and it would be excellent if contributions came from different angles. If anyone is interested in contributing then reply and we can begin to discuss a road map for getting a first draft to the contacts at BlackDuck.
