Appendix B. Free and Open-Source Software Sites

This appendix gives you one place to go to for open-source websites. These links include sites covering the history of open source, news, and open-source tools. This is by no means a comprehensive list—new sites pop up every day—but hopefully, these sites will act as an excellent starting point.

Note

The Internet is a dynamic place, and some of these links might have changed. If the links are incorrect, search for the title in Google and drop me a line with the new link.
