One small step: NASA launches open source portal, aims to open more code

“In a statement on the open.NASA blog, the space agency
announced on Wednesday the launch of a new code.nasa.gov website
that will become a portal for NASA’s open source software
development activities. In its current form, it hosts a directory
of the organization’s open source software projects and provides
documentation about NASA’s open source software processes. As the
site matures, NASA intends to turn it into a development hub with a
forum and hosted collaboration tools that make it easier for NASA
software projects to transition to open development.”
