Facebook has spent quite a bit of time making sure that everyone knows that it is a mobile company. In fact, it spent close to a year and a half in doing so. This was the first step on Facebook’s agenda. It seems that the second step is to be an open source company.

James Pearce, from Facebook’s Open Source team, revealed that the next front is to push all the retooling and development that Facebook has been doing over the past 18 month period to the open source community.
