I am looking to create an application for exchange rate of foreign currencies and need backend for the same. While searching for the same, i came across:
http://rate-exchange.appspot.com
http://rate-exchange.appspot.com/currency?from=USD&to=EUR&q=1 //working demo
I also find the github source for this GAE project at:
https://github.com/hippasus/ExchangeRates
Now the question I have how should I proceed. Shall I use this already deployed project named http://rate-exchange.appspot.com or deploy my own version. If I should deploy my own version then what will be steps.
Thanks in advance
Generally try to use existing code with permission and visibly give credit to avoid plagiarism. Developers who repeat work already done by others learn from the experience but risk wasting time unnecessarily. You learn from others by studying their code anyway.
You may after some experience with the other project think of ways to improve it. Liaise on Github with the original author about constructive collaboration. Sharing code is what makes free and open source software great.

Anyone cleared Snowflake's SnowPro Certification? I need help with and information about what did you do in order to prepare for this certification. I appreciate your information.
Thank you,
Prashanth.
Snowflake did officially launch the SnowPro Core Certification publicly on Tuesday, October 29th.
To view more information about the SnowPro Core Certification, you can navigate to https://community.snowflake.com/s/snowprocertifications.
No. They dont have transparent process for certification.
First, They have only online proctoring exam, they wont even give option to choose test center on your own.
But when you start the online exam by agreeing to all their conditions (arranging external usb camera, high speed internet etc) they will suspend or stop it by giving some silly reason and tell you to choose test centre by paying $100 more.
Later when you question back they will edit the requirement document itself and tell you are not meeting the requirements. (PFA sample of their requirement change)
Funny thing is they dont even know where is their Server.
It is one of the rubbish process I have seen, Please dont take up this certification and get trapped like me.
Portland OR is mentioned
Phoenix Arizona is mentioned later

I cannot find way how to see all packages of given author on http://pub.dartlang.org
For example, if I want see all packages of caolan on https://www.npmjs.org I can click on the author link and go to author page https://www.npmjs.org/~caolan.
As far as I know, packages on http://pub.dartlang.org also has their own authors.
That is, they has rightful owners.
For some reason I could not find a way to get an overall picture about the packages relatively of their authors.
Is this possible?
If not possible then why?
P.S.
I am amazed at all the paucity of services provided to http://pub.dartlang.org.
The impression is that nobody does this because they simply do not care about it.
Maybe there is an argument in favor of the fact that I'm wrong?
I do not think that requires huge investments.
Pub site doesn't have such feature for now.
However the sources of http://pub.dartlang.org are available on https://github.com/dart-lang/pub-dartlang/ . You can help to improve the service by submitting Pull-Requests.
You can alternatively use the json output of http://pub.dartlang.org/packages.json and http://pub.dartlang.org/packages/xxx.json to achieve what you want. I made that and you can see a raw result at http://a14n.github.io/pub-infos/packages-by-uploader.html. The collected json datas are available at http://a14n.github.io/pub-infos/datas.json. (The sources: https://github.com/a14n/pub-infos )
It is not possible yet. There have been some mentions of improving the pub site. However, nothing has happened as of yet.

We've made this monitoring tool at our company.
It's not in our line of business so we might as well opensource the tool, and maybe someone else likes it as well, maybe they'll contribute.
The tool runs on AppEngine, so there are so the are some paths in the appengine configuration, that might be a good idea to keep hidden. Unless someone else wants to start using our appengine qouta.
Is there a best practice for open-sourcing AppEngine applications?
Does anyone have any experience to share regarding opensourcing appengine sites?
You can get some ideas from excellent gae-init. The way its working in order to avoid exposing sensitive information, is moving it in a stand alone project, you can even use gae-init for that ;)
As part of the model is a Config class which holds all the information as it concerns the service and its dependencies. There are some default values there but it can also be easily customized from a web interface called admin. Have a look.

I am creating an app that needs all available US automotive make/models for each year. I have read several suggestions on other posts, like use Freebase or DbPedia or EPA, but those datasets all appear rather incomplete and inconsistent. I checked out open APIs like Edmond's, but they restrict storing their data - I need it in my db, so that doesn't work. Any suggestions where I can get this data without having to shell out money?
Apparently there is not much out there. And a lot of doubt that someone would be willing to provide such a repository. So I solved the problem myself, and am sharing my dataset with anyone else who finds themselves facing the same problem.
https://github.com/n8barr/automotive-model-year-data
These guys have an API that will give the results. It's also free to use.
http://www.carqueryapi.com
Note: they also provide data source download in xls or sql format at a premium price. but these data also provides technical specifications for all the make model and trim options.
How about Freebase? I think they have an API available, too.

I've just finished a mini-project (a graphical 2d silverlight tag cloud) and I've made the source code available on my website as a zip file - but where should I put the code to allow people to find it and evolve it if they wish? codeplex? but I guess this would count as an inactive project?
http://sourceforge.net/
Find and Build
Open Source Software
Google Code is great, free, and easy. It supports subversion.
http://www.codeplex.com/ This is run by Microsoft, which should be a fine match with Silverlight.
I recommend github.
CodeProject is good too.
It depends upon what you plan to do.
If you want to share the code with the world and open it to large cooperation, definitely go github
If you want to setup a nice web site, with a complete community with mailing lists, and a selected number of authorized contributors, go sourceforge.
Alternatively, you could use one of the sourceforge-like : google code, codeplex, savannah, berlios...
