One of the core values at IT Crossing is the principle of reciprocity.  Of course, that can mean a lot of things, but to us it's simple.  Start first with an attitude of giving.  We recognize at IT Crossing through our involvement in open source projects that many have gone before us with this same spirit and our response is a desire to give back.  That will be the overarching focus of both our blog and the corresponding resources we generate that may be of use to the community.  You can think of our blog as where we try to engage the community in conversation and the resources section as the filing cabinet for the blog.

To date, our efforts at giving back to the community have been meager and focused only on two open source projects:  SubSonic, an open source OR/M that you can use to generate your Data Access Layer (DAL), and DotNetNuke an open source Content Management System with a highly configurable and pluggable infrastructure.  In so far as we are able to save time for other developers as they go about their task of building great software for their business or organization, we will be pleased.
