Mind mapping - Vym

This week, at the Michigan User Group meeting, I started playing with a new tool, Vym, that allows you to lay out thoughts, reorganize at will, and get things into somewhat of a structure. So, here's the mind map I made:


(or here is a full size version).  Also in that directory I have the actual .vym file I made.  This is, in my opinion, and incredibly neat tool for so many things, so I have to rave about it.

Open Source Accessibility

Jonathan McDowell comments on the accessibility of people in the Open Source community - and I agree, it is an important aspect, but he mentions the fact that he hasn't asked for an autograph in a long time.  It occurred to me that in the OSS community, you don't really need autographs, all it takes is a positive comment on code you've submitted, because that's an infinitely more meaningful gesture than a meaningless autograph.
