No Doubt, Firfox is becoming most biggest open-source project on the web. recently reports are showing firfox is most committed and active project on the web. With more than 15,000 improvements, Firefox 3 is faster, safer and smarter than ever before. but its still not stop. Mozilla is promoting it with more power than before.
Its Estimated project cost increased to $109,952,246, and 236 committers made 2127 commits. this is a history in Open source projects. it has Very large, active development team. its mostly written in C++.
if we are going to compare it within other browser, this is still a step ahead from all. being a developer and user you will love it. you have thousands of extra features and styles through add-ons. you can take benefits from powerful extensions, themes and a lot. so this is all which someone may need from a browser. and if i want to say something this about this all , that is open-source.
i am finding it more helpful when i am using with dozen of developer extensions which are too much helpful for me during projects.
Github seems a great idea, if you are going to start a project and like mostly other SVN you can use to host your project on Github public or privately. but now it moving to next step where you will have a link to your Github profile in your resume or Github as resume. so be prepare for this, because this is going to next step to boost up your career. i was having an account on Github a long-time before and that time i setup a test repository with some commands and after a long-time i even don’t remember what may be the password of that account. but recently i observed lot of my friends started to transfer their open-source projects to Github. that’s seems a great idea for me also if we will have our open-source projects which may contain classes, plugins etc to move to our Github account. so there will be a huge collection of all code we have build in past. one of my friend from UK take advantage of this when he was at interview, then they asked him to show his code samples he built, he was little confused but then Github helped him alot at this stage. he showed them his code samples from his Github account, he was also having a project which he built during his school days in OOP. he share this all with me when we were working together on a projects. finally he got job and now he is working in that company.
after that, i also started take care of my Github account, ohh sorry i created new one i already told you i forget old account credentials. one more reason i got was also one of my client also need to me on Github for a project, where they are using a testing sever with Github repository. so this all take me to Github .
What is GitHub?
Github enables individuals and organizations to create projects, fork them and to contribute source code to the forks without approval or oversight from the original authors. Changes can be committed locally, pulled to the parent repository with a code review. Anyone can comment on any single line of code or a pull request. You can use your fork immediately in your project. Github removed the remaining barriers around open-source collaboration and elegantly enabled private repositories for a fee.
for example you were a programmer with Ruby or Python, you worked in Ruby 7 year and then you moved to PHP and working in PHP from last 3 year, you don’t have website where you can put your portfolio, Github can provide you a username like this yourname.github.com where you can list your projects. even if you are a school or college guy and unfortunately you have some code you want to show the world or assignments, you can also list them to Github. and this also saves you from any harm that may be loss of data due to hard-disk damage etc. you know why actually i lost my all semesters data even after few month of degree, but i was having backup on my old pc.
and after few year you are on interview, so you will have a confidence to show them what you have done in the past. so this is your online resume which is built for you by linux guys, but you can use it on windows or mac in the same way as on linux. i love Github too much and my humble opinion for you also is to move to Github and contribute to open-source world.
At the end i want to say, don’t judge anyone with his Github account, this is not actually purpose of my post. sometime more expert programmer don’t have time to contribute to open-source community. i means to say if you are on some profile and looking few contribution to open-source or projects, don’t take it as weakness of that person. mostly programmer don’t get time to contribute to open-source community. this is actually trend.
Wish you best of luck with your career.
“The 2012 Summer Olympic Games, officially known as the Games of the XXX Olympiad or “London 2012 Olympic Games”, are scheduled to take place in London, England, United Kingdom from 27 July to 12 August 2012.

Britain has also put up 9.3 billion pounds public funding to prepare for the Games, most of it to build the Olympic Park, which has transformed a rundown area in London’s east end. Ticket revenues were expected to top 600 million pounds — above an initial forecast for something above 400 million.

Some representatives of countries which are majority Muslim have complained that the 2012 Olympic Games will take place during the month of Ramadan, which in 2012 occurs from 20 July to 19 August. During Ramadan, Muslims are to fast from sunrise to sunset, which may put Muslim athletes at a disadvantage during the Games. Some Muslims have called for the Olympics to be rescheduled outside this period.
The British government announced in December 2011 that 13,500 members of the armed forces will be in place for the Olympic games, as well as 10,000 police (who will lead the security of the Games).
