From both a business point of view and from the point of view of how our sector should work to heighten transparency in society at large, there’s no reason to limit the ability of coders to learn about and discuss the API at hand. Those shine as industry-standard examples of how open API s need to be distributed. Be Helpful.

I know that’s one more thing in a long list of considerations (and it’s generally more important to think about for the CRM – the CMS, if it is modern, and especially if it is open source, will provide few barriers to integration.) at 2:36 pm This is actually a topic I’ll be discussing at the NTC this year.

On the Windows side the hardware manufacturers make proprietary drivers for Windows, and very few make drivers for Linux, or open source their drivers so that Linux developers can use them. And, of course, designers need software that just don’t have high enough quality open source alternatives yet. 8 Pete 06.25.08

Folks at NTEN have been thinking about APIs , and will host a discussion about them on Friday. These are using data in your own databases, and grabbing maps from google maps and putting them inside your application. Other examples include desktop applications that allow uploading photos to flickr. But I have a first take. Be Helpful.

So, first off, one of the interesting things was that there was some initial differences of opinion as to how to define open APIs, and what they were used for. The other vendors either supply their paying customers with APIs, or, in the case of civicspace, the APIs are, well, free and open, like everything else about open source.
