[@OKFNau] BudgetAus going open source

Thu Mar 6 04:25:43 UTC 2014

Hi Ryan,
Your name rings a bell, are you a PHP-er by any chance? I'll be needing decent coders to help me bring my code up to standard. When I started BudgetAus it was my first database project and I had no inkling it was going to become what it has and will become. One of the reasons I'm open sourcing is because it is too big for one person and so that people can do their own implementations and features.
I have to admit though that I have not been following a standard wrt indenting or documentation & other bits and pieces. I'm sure that will be an affront to more disciplined coders. I'm looking at this as an opportunity to take on board the standards I should be applying but I could do with some help.

here are some additional resources depending on how much you want to understand your decision.

Hi Rosie, 
I see someone has already pointed you to http://choosealicense.com/

I think you should consider 2 licenses. You need one for the code, and likely a different one for the data. Unless you decide to release all of it under the public domain.

Hi all, 
I've made a decision to open source the BudgetAus code (and data). I'd like feedback about which licence to use and the pros and cons of different licences or any other advice people have. 

If you wish, comments can go onto the forum at http://infoaus.net/forum/discussion/11/federal-budget#Item_7 if you want other people interested in budget transparency to read them.

thanksRosie
