May 2000 Cover
In the open space of a ridge overlooking Petaluma, California, a lone oak spreads its branches broadly gathering the energy of the spring sunshine. Kris Magnusson's feature article Invisible Worlds and Open Source: Revolutionizing Relationships argues that Open Source can bring energy not just to software development, but to the human relationships that bring value to technology as well.

In the May edition of Mappa.Mundi, Invisible Worlds celebrates spring with the release of two new packages into open source, the Blocks SpaceKit for Java by Frank Morton and the Blocks SpaceKit for Perl by Brad Burdick.
