Palm is moving forward in their efforts to appeal to open source developers with their new Open Source Portal. This is definitely a step in the right direction, with Palm recently backing PreDevCamp and opening up to developer concerns and suggestions. An excerpt from the press release via the Palm Developer Network Blog is below:

We are excited to announce the availability of Palm’s open source portal at http://opensource.palm.com. We’re using Linux and various other open source software in webOS to allow us to accelerate innovation through collaboration with the global community of open source developers.

For details about the compliance practices, we will be publishing an article to cover this topic in detail. We will announce when the article is available in this blog and make a copy available for download as well.

From http://opensource.palm.com, you can:

• Learn how to contact the open source team

• Download the various open source components we are making available along with our modifications

• Download a copy of the latest open source license file that includes a listing of open source software used, along with their respective licenses and notices.

Stay tuned as we add functionalities to our open source web site to reflect the progress in our open source activities.

This is an good move for Palm, and should be an excellent resource for Linux developers and others who want to delve into open source for webOS and the Pre. Now all we need is the SDK!
