Open Source Community Directory Project
Welcome to the Open Source Community Directory Project. Our mission is to design and implement an international online directory that lists open source communities and resources available to those communities. We aim to serve as a resource for community leaders and individuals looking to learn about or get involved in open source collaboration. If you are interested in joining the project as a collaborator please join the project discussion group: http://groups.google.com/group/oscdp.
