When we first launched code.google.com
(webarchive), it was largely a site for documenting ouropen
source activities and had some details about Google's supported APIs and file
formats. In the ensuing 3 years, code has grown to encompass protocol documentation, project hosting and even a mobile operating system. Similarly, the
activities of the Open Source Team have grown from simple license compliance to the
aforementioned hosting, releasing
massive amounts of code and introducing student programs like the Summer of Code and its high school cousin, the
Highly Open Participation
Contest. Since we've grown so much, we felt it was well past time to spin off a blog
that specifically covers the open source activities of the company. So that's just what we've
done. Come check it out, and if you like, subscribe!
