ABOUT
Open source has become a movement and a way of working that encourages innovation through collaboration in order to bring the technological world in the right direction. Open source projects vary greatly in scale. Some are driven by individuals creating a specific application, others are major initiatives developed by institutions, and companies, with a thing in common: to have an impact, we decide to recognize it with DARE TO FORK.
The contribution is the essence of open-source: learning and collaboration; and most successful open-source projects are a result of contributions from people of all skill levels.
