When I think of open source, I think of FIRST. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is training the next generation of open source contributors through a program called FRC, or FIRST Robotics Competition. FRC challenges teams to build a robot in six weeks that can compete in a competition. This year the challenge is called Recycle Rush. The goal is to stack plastic totes and recycling bins on scoring platforms to score points. The team with the higher score wins. But, FIRST is about more than winning. It's also about more than robots. It's really about friendly competition and learning technical skills. read more

One of the most common administrative tasks that end users and administrators alike need to perform is file management. Managing files can consume a major portion of your time.
