I have a friend who has been using proprietary software since long. How can I introduce her to the open source community. Which websites should I show?
Yes everyone! I’ve shown her a DVD of Mint and she would like to join the community. Now how to take her into the community?

I have been programming in Visual C++, Dev C++ and other windows versions of code. I heard about the open source community and really like Knoppix and devices like Freenas and would like to begin making my transition into compiling and coding from within Linux, using the Gnu compiler stuff where should I begin looking?

as a beginner in programming which languages can i start with that will lead to software development in the open source community. Are there any qualifications based on long distance education that i can take for this

Let’s say you have an open source community or project and you create something that’s pretty awesome. Would a for profit company be able to take advantage of all the work that was done for free and implement it into a product to make money?

Thanks in advance.

I could not understand if someone gives his developed software for free, then how he could survive. Is he/they have any hidden income source that the normal computer users like us don’t know.

I would like to use public freebies in the open source community, and install them within a corporate sharepoint environment.

I want to create some sites quite similar to Yahoo Answers, but for niche audiences and with public interest in mind–e.g., a special Answers like site for people and families with disability. But I don’t know the first thing about programming. So my idea is to try to reach out to the open source community. Is that all wrong? Or could I get help that way? And how? I look forward to your responses. Thanks for reading.

I have a software idea. In talking with some people, I feel that there will be a lot of interest in this software. I want to use the open source community to create this software. I know that I can host the project on www.sourceforge.net, but how do I get developers to work on it? How do I manage the process, releases, QA etc? I only have an idea and no hands on software development experience. How will this process work? If you can share your experience, it will be great.
