An Alliance of Major Players to Guide Open-Source Software

Facebook announces the formation of a group, the TODO Project, intended to streamline the way open-source software projects are executed. The group includes Twitter, Box, Dropbox, Stripe and The New York Times. A significant part of the software that powers things like Facebook, Google search and the Android mobile operating system is based on open source. As more companies and independent developers get involved in these communal projects, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep straight which versions people are working on. Facebook, for example, may release new parts of its software twice a day.”]
