Summary Although the example in this chapter is admittedly simplistic, it illustrates the advantage of combining several unrelated projects in a useful fashion. Imagine the possibilities of all the combinations of projects listed in this chapter as well as on the WIKI site and OpenSource downloader tool! Many complex systems and even commercial products can benefit from the existing Open Source available today. I hope that you will find Open Source development as useful and exciting as many other developers have. Each time you commit a small contribution to an Open Source project, a sense of accomplishment is felt as you help others at the same time as helping yourself. |
