It’s great to see more and more foundations adopting policies around open source software and grantmaking and using/developing with open source themselves.  I wrote about some of the decision-making around connec+ipedia as a guest spot over at Tactical Philanthropy.

Head over there to read and comment on what you think about this process and project.
