http://dot.kde.org

While they are not busy doing (crazy) research, most scientists do a lot of technical writing: papers, presentations, posters, reports.

Extending the free software paradigm to DIY Biology

http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com

Some time ago I wrote an article about Jim Kent, an American biologist who used free and open software to race Craig Ventnor to the finishing line, sequencing the human genome.
