| who share their passion for their work, explain what they do on a daily
| basis, and suggest steps students can take to achieve similar careers. The
| interviews are then posted online, free for anyone to access, accompanied by
| teacher resources, including lesson plans and blogs.

Are Commercial Buildings Ready for Open-Source Energy Management?
,----[ Quote ]
| Picture the lighting and chillers of commercial buildings being controlled by
| a system designed in the same way as Mozilla’s Firefox — through open source,
| the collaborative method of developing software source code. While we’ve
| covered open source-based home area energy management systems, the OpenLynx
| project, started by Anno Scholten, vice president of business development for
| NovusEdge, is looking to tackle the underlying software that controls the
| energy consumption of massive commercial buildings.

Obama Should Make Energy Research Accessible
,----[ Quote ]
| The open source philosophy of collaboration should also be reinforced by lab
| directors. This would require a cultural shift as researchers can be
| protective of their projects and funding allocations.
|
| Opening the books as to where the money comes from would also give citizens
| more confidence that public funds are being used wisely. Earmarks granted by
| senators to start projects in their districts could be compared to research
| already in progress.
