On the hunt for the best open source resources and more

Our first interview is with Reaper-media. Reaper-media is a web designer / developer from the UK who is well-known in the Envato marketplace community for his work in the flash based e-world chat and his job as an codecanyon forum moderator.

More an more sites are using(or going to use) JavaScript(library or plain) on there website(s). You probably dont see much of these javascript pieces, but one cool piece of JavaScript cant be missed, and it’s called a lightbox.

A JavaScript ligthbox is a fast growing way to present in a nice way an images or something else like inline html, video or an external site without opening a new window. In the old days most images(or other content) where presented in a new tab/window, which isn’t a pretty way to do this if you ask me.

After a lot of jQuery posts it’s time for an almost forgotten framework, Mootools. jQuery is more popular at this moment because it’s easier to use than Mootools, but Mootools is still a very powerfull javascript framework. Mootools is a good and useful framework but more for the javascript developer.

This collection of Mootools plugins contains some pretty cool and very useful stuff. A collection of Mootools menu plugins can be found here.

If you are running a company or just working as a freelancer you probably know how important a good business card design can be, but there are still a lot of freelancers and company’s that dont have a (good) business card.

What kind of design is right for me? Well it depends mostly on you profession, for example a graphic designer would use a cool illustration and a photographer would use an simple but elegant design. But still the most important thing on the card is the information on it.

Every month, i will choose a site that gets the title site of the month here on OpenSourceHunter. This can be an site of a freelancer, a usefull application/tool, a cool company, a site with great tutorials and resources, a blog, a site with a cool design or something else.

A couple of weeks back i came across a very cool website called behind the websites. This is an project of designer Ricardo Gimenes. Ricardo draws every couple of days a cool and funny illustration about a (well known) website/person. Go and see the cool illustrations that he has created so far!

An ticket system (also issue tracking system, trouble ticket system, support Ticket or incident ticket system) is a computer software or web based package that manages and maintains lists of issues, as needed by an organization. Ticket systems are commonly used in an organization’s to create, update, and resolve reported customer issues.

There are 3 versions of tickets systems, paid version, custom version(mainly build for one company) and the open source version. Because we dont want to pay a lot of money for an ticket system, we use the open source versions.
