Learn about the Open Source Census (video)

08-14-2008 01:00 PM
The Open Source Census goes way beyond the traditional, too rarely used Linux Counter. It claims to be "the first collaborative, global project to count the number of installations for each open source software package." A lofty (and possibly unobtainable) goal, perhaps, but in this video, shot at LinuxWorld 2008, OpenLogic's Kim Wein explains why OpenLogic, along with more than a dozen other companies and groups, is sponsoring the Open Source Census.

WebService::CIA::Source(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			      WebService::CIA::Source(3pm)

NAME

       WebService::CIA::Source - A base class for WebService::CIA sources

SYNOPSIS

	 use WebService::CIA::Source;
	 my $source = WebService::CIA::Source->new();

DESCRIPTION

       WebService::CIA::Source is a base class for WebService::CIA sources, such as WebService::CIA::Source::DBM and WebService::CIA::Source::Web.

       It could be used as a source in its own right, but it won't get you very far.

METHODS

       "new()"
	   This method creates a new WebService::CIA::Source object. It takes no arguments.

       "value($country_code, $field)"
	   Retrieve a value. Always returns "undef".

       "all($country_code)"
	   Retrieve all fields and values. Always returns an empty hashref.
