MIT Mobile Web now Open Source
Open source creates better software, Whitehurst argues, so why not expand its value by expanding its community?
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology apparently has heard the call, opting to open-source its Mobile Web project, as reported by ReadWriteWeb. The code “offers a staff and student directory, a campus map, the shuttle schedule, an event calendar, class announcements for students, emergency information, and status updates for many of MIT’s tech services.”
This makes me wish I was working in an academic institution so I had an excuse to play with this code. Check it out and let me know how it works!! Sounds like a great development in the world of open source for colleges and universities.
