3517 3 2009-03-25T21:32:25-07:00 USD <p>Tastique is a company dedicated to bringing free and open source tools to users around the web. We are aiming to build a whole network of websites and applications to be used by end-users and developers.</p> <p>A web development hub is already being built which is right now &#8220;just&#8221; a blog called <a href='http://scriptastique.com'>Scriptastique</a>. This will be transformed into a whole website with the blog being a part of it.</p> <p>We also have a URL shortening service, <a href='http://shrinkomatic.com'>Shrink-O-Matic</a>. This allows for simpel url shortening, but a whole lot of management and tracking is on the way.</p> <p>We are also developing Wordpress plugins, themes, and standalone PHP and MySQL based application. An open source forum software and an event planner is already in the works.</p> <p>Unfortunately since I can not afford to pay or train full time developers to work with me, Tastique is very understaffed. We are set to be a big organization, but we do need some &#8220;start-up money&#8221; to be able to grow quickly.</p> <p>We need about $5,000 over the course of 5 months to cover all the costs and to be able to get some employees. After that we should be making our own money, and we can turn your help around, and give back to the community!</p> <p>We would greatly appreciate any help you can give, we believe in the power of free and open source software and applications, and we would like to develop industry standard apps, and also teach people how to do this themselves through Scriptastique.</p> 2009-08-25T17:00:00-07:00 5000.0 3504 image/gif tastiqueű.gif 4151 2009-03-25T21:32:22-07:00 0 2009-03-25T17:00:00-07:00 startups, "open source" Support a startup: Tastique 2009-03-25T21:32:25-07:00 0.0 1115 0.0 254 2008-10-06T20:00:55-07:00 14 Education education 2008-10-06T20:00:55-07:00 820 2008-10-06T20:00:55-07:00 39 Open Source open-source 2008-10-06T20:00:55-07:00 912 2008-10-06T20:00:55-07:00 17 Internet internet 2008-10-06T20:00:55-07:00
