BBC launches Open Source website
We have just launched BBC OpenSource – the new repository for open source code released by the BBC.
For the BBC, open source software development is an extension of our Public Service remit. Releasing open source software helps our audience get additional value from the work they've funded, and also get tools for free that they couldn't get any other way. It also allows people outside the BBC to extend projects in such a way that may in future be used in the BBC.
We hope there will be opportunities for cross-pollination between backstage.bbc.co.uk and BBC OpenSource.
If you would like to know more, check out the BBC Open Source FAQ or visit the site directly.
