Google launches new Website to give Open Source Projects

-
In a blog post, Will Norris, a software engineer at Google's Open Source Programs Office, wrote: "Free and open-source software has been part of our technical and organizational foundation since Google's early beginnings.
And now, 18 years after Google was founded, Google has launched opensource.google.com. This site "ties together all of our initiatives with information on how we use, release, and support open source".
Why is Google doing this? To quote the site, "Google believes that open source is good for everyone. By being open and freely available, it enables and encourages collaboration and the development of technology, solving real world problems."
This is not a source-code site, such as GitHub. Instead, it's a master directory to Google's open-source projects.
But, it's more. Norris explained that it's a "look under the hood at how we 'do' open source".
When Norris says that, he means it. "Today we are publishing our internal documentation for how we do open source at Google."
This is essential reading for any company wanting to use open-source software development to its fullest potential. Or, anyone who wants to know how big companies handle open source.
Specifically, "These docs explain the process we follow for releasing new open-source projects, submitting patches to others' projects, and how we manage the open-source code that we bring into the company and use ourselves. But in addition to the how, it outlines why we do things the way we do, such as why we only use code under certain licenses or why we require contributor license agreements for all patches we receive."
Like I said, this is essential reading for companies and developers working with open source.
By 2015, 78 percent of companies were running open-source software. You will be too soon. Actually, if you use Google for search, or just about anything else, you're already using it.
