The Dronecode Foundation aims to keep UAVs open (Opensource.com)

Opensource.com follows up with the Dronecode Foundation, which was founded in October 2014. "In the past year, Dronecode's developer community has grown from 1,200 to more than 2000 contributors, with more than 12,000 commits in the codebase. The rate of development is rapid with 1,000 commits being reviewed a month, with well over 2 million lines of code across the various Dronecode projects. Developers from Qualcomm, Intel, Parrot, Yuneec and many others are actively engaged in the development of the Dronecode technology stack. As a result, updates, new releases and project milestones are in motion all the time. For example, in late May, the APM project released version 3.3 of its flight code, and the PX4 project reached a milestone with the first RC candidate for release 1.0."

Roadies vs. rock stars: The art of open leadership (Opensource.com)

Matt Thompson talks with Allen Gunn, Executive Director of Aspiration, at Opensource.com. "I think you lead with a very earnest form of humility. The best forms of open are lovingly subversive, in that they draw others to form their own conclusions about the benefit of open rather than beating them over the head with it."
