Open Source: Part 1

UpdatedOctober 13, 2025

•1 min read

I like learning new stuff - anything, including technology. I love tinkering with new tools, systems and services, especially open source projects

Open Source refers to Source Code that’s out there in the Open, in the public, on the Internet, and accessible to everyone

Source Code here refers to any code - of any program, tool, system, library, framework or any software for that matter

You can read more about Open Source online. Here are some keywords to look for and search for -

FOSS - Free and Open Source Software
OSS - Open Source Software
OSI - Open Source Initiative
FSF - Free Software Foundation
FLOSS - Free/Libre and Open Source Software

You can find source code “hosted” on many platforms / websites. Some popular ones are GitHub, GitLab and BitBucket, though there are a lot more out there!
