Open Pulse Poster

There are a lot of media about free and open source software (FOSS), but we see no examples of media, which follows the idea of FOSS. We mean such media are not “FOSS by themselves”, they are proprietary by nature (though maybe we miss something). The idea of this blog is to create a kind of media that will be transparent “from the ground” – what software it is based on, how internal processes are set up, who is behind this blog, how topics to post are selected etc.
