It’s intended to be an open effort to share its practices for developing servers and data centers. The stated goal is to follow the model traditionally associated with open source software projects.

Until I began receiving notifications of Twitter followers “favoriting” my tweets, I admittedly hadn’t thought much of the Favorites feature.
