"Iron smelting in the nineteenth century was the most
technologically intensive enterprise undertaken by American business.
Accordingly, building a smelter operation in frontier Oregon signalled
a principal upward shift in the economic picture of the state."  |
"A Foundry is a targeted software
development Community built around a specific technology focus.
It's where developers share expertise and news, get and give advice,
and generally help each other develop better software, faster." SourceForge.net is the world's largest Open Source Software development website, with the largest repository of Open Source code and applications available on the Internet.  |
