well I've seen some local jobs asking for people who can contributed to the
core of Jquery or Prototype for example and their github accounts to go with
that. If this fits in with your previous job description like you say it
doesn't take long to tidy things up but being a really valid part of any open
source community whether takes a lot of time and is definitely comparable to
another part time job on top of a normal job

Castro has his doubts on Communism - zmitri

This has really changed my view point on Castro. I'm not sure if he's been
looking at lives of Cubans and realizing that maybe the revolution wasn't
worth it, or if he's just getting older and his youthful " altruistic
idealism" is fading.

Nice to see people can change their mind, and recollect... even after decades.

It would have been great if he'd realized it earlier.

However, I imagine that growing up during the great depression (especially
under a series of kleptocrat dictators) changes one's perspectives on the
relative merits of different economic systems. I'm currently reading a book on
J. Robert Oppenheimer, and I've been struck by the seeming ubiquity of very
left-wing views among brilliant young theoretical physicists in the 1930s.
Combine the dire economic circumstances in the US at the time with the rise of
the Nazis and little accurate knowledge of life under Stalin, and some very
smart people came to conclusions that seem very misguided in retrospect.
