You may have noticed that it’s been quiet here on Opensource.com lately. That’s because there’s a new project in the works, and while there aren’t many specific details to announce yet, there’s plenty to talk about. What better way to start than with the entire internet?<\/p>\n

The internet, and top-level domains<\/h2>\n

You may know that the internet is a network. A network, by definition, is a group of connections. The term “internet” is in fact a portmanteau of “interconnected” and “network”. The internet is a network of interconnected networks, and originally it consisted of two: The military network and the academic network. Once the internet got popular outside those two groups, it became apparent that different designations were needed to differentiate, say, a commercial entity from a charitable organization from a university or a governmental department.<\/p>\n

These designations are called top-level domains (TLD). There are many available today, but for a long time there were only a handful. The original TLDs remain popular, and you probably know that when you go to, for instance, a .com<\/code> address, you’re visiting a commercial site, but when you visit a .org<\/code> address you’re going to a non-profit website.<\/p>\n

Open source is a network<\/h2>\n

Open source can be many things. It’s can be commercial, it can be non-profit, it can be academic, it can be cultural. No matter what form it takes, though, it’s always a network. Sometimes (but not always) it’s a network of computers, but most importantly it’s a network of people. Whether people are gathering at a conference or a pub or in an online chat room<\/a>, open source is a community of people.<\/p>\n

The website Opensource.com has been supported by a commercial entity for 12 years. But the people (that’s you and me) that make up the Opensource.com community aren’t commercial entities, we’re people.<\/p>\n

In one month, Opensource.com is going to resolve that bug. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The community is hard at work on something new.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
