Interesting comments from people working the open source way at Liferay.

“Anytime I want to learn something new, open source actually makes that available to you… By contributing, you put yourself out there and you give other people the opportunity to help you grow…”

You can follow Liferay in English and Spanish on Twitter. Subscribe to their YouTube channel, of course.

    Open source is a great source of information for learning. There is also the knowledge that those programs are way less likely to have backdoors for governemts (any or all) to sneak in my business, an that when a vulnerability is found, it is likely to be fixed way faster than what the big companies, which shall remain nameless, will provide to their users, invoking testing, QA, blah blah blah… Too many things are closed to everyone.
