Over at Linux.com, Rikki Endsley interviews two NASA workers who are responsible for organizing and expanding the US space agency's open source efforts. "In December, [William] Eshagh announced NASA's presence on GitHub, and their first public repository houses NASA's World Wind Java project, an open source 3D interactive world viewer. Additional projects are being added, including OpenMDAO, an open-source Multidisciplinary Design Analysis and Optimization (MDAO) framework; NASA Ames StereoPipeline, a suite of automated geodesy and stereogrammetry tools; and NASA Vision Workbench, a general-purpose image processing and computer vision library."
