##Purpose
## Purpose
I Love Open Source is a way of encouraging users of Open Source code to express their gratitude through a simple acknowledgement page. Along the way, they are gently offered a chance to donate cash or just thanks.

This [short video](https://vimeo.com/75609049?autoplay=1) explains things properly.

##How it came about
## How it came about
When the Codio team were preparing the website, we wanted to show public support for the open source projects we use. We didn't want to just give private donations or statements of support, which no-one was aware of other than the recipient. We wanted to list the projects for all to see, both from the website and the product itself.

That simple start developed into a case of massive scope creep and we added more and more functionality until it ended up as a complete application.

Importantly, I Love Open Source is not just for Open Source developers. Commercial organizations who use Open Source but may not develop Open Source projects themselves now have a perfect means of acknowledgement. Giving acknowledgement and occasionally donations improves the overall health of the OS development community and helps OS developers to keep on developing.
