Green Software?

There is Green Food, Green Computing... why not Green Software?

Green Computing makes computing echo friendly and minimizes usage of energy on the lines of Triple Bottom Line. When it comes to Open Source Software, community should also aim to follow the Triple bottom line (People, Planet and Profit).

I have observed that many open source communities already adopted Green in their Logos, Websites and User Interface. Let's see how open source software community either following or should follow Triple Bottom Line (TBL)

People - Make open source software more user friendly and let more people start using Open Source Software
Planet - Make open source software less resource hungry
Profit - The benefit enjoyed by the Open Source Software users community

Open Source Software Community already following most of the TBL policies, so I do not hesitate calling Open Source Software as Green Software.
Go Green should be the open source community new mantra.

The 10 Coolest Open Source Products Of 2008.....

Open Source Software is about more than just the Linux operating system, and 2008 brought advances in the form of OpenOffice.org, IBM Lotus Symphony, Firefox and Android. But Linux is still the heart of the FOSS movement, and this year brought key developments in the operating system as well. Here's a look at the coolest open source products.....

e-learning and cource management systems

Moodle is a Course Management System (CMS), also known as a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).

Moodle is open source web application that you can use to create interactive web sites where teachers and students can communicate and collaborate in educational ways. It needs to be installed on a web server somewhere (which could be one of your own computers or one at a web hosting company).

The focus of the Moodle project is always on giving educators the best tools to manage and promote learning , but there are many ways to use Moodle:

* Moodle has features that allow it to scale to very large deployments and hundreds of thousands of students, yet it can also be used for a primary school or an education hobbyist.
* Many institutions use Moodle as their platform to conduct fully online courses, while some use it simply to augment face-to-face courses (known as blended learning).
* Many of Moodle users love to use the many activity modules (such as Forums, Wikis, Databases and so on) to build richly collaborative communities of learning around their subject matter (in the social constructionist tradition), while others prefer to use Moodle as a way to deliver content to students (such as standard SCORM packages) and assess learning using assignments or quizzes.

Check out the online demo of Moodle here or download and start using.
