Love the fact that a commercial venture is open sourcing all their designs.  Also awesome to see Github.com used this way.

For those unfamiliar, Github is a popular source code repository for software developers.  Beyond simply hosting files, they provide change management tools for multiple authors working on a single file.  They are seeking to expand beyond software with uses such as the above.

Yes, you too can publish your patterns on Github for free!  In fact, you can even submit improvements to some one else’s designs.
