Every industry has a hero who paves the way with innovation. Cisco is looking for developer heroes for the open source software industry and hopes to find three as winners of its Think Inside the Box Developer Contest. The contest, which started in October, encourages developers to produce applications that run on Cisco’s new Linux Application eXtension Platform. Cisco’s goal is to encourage programmers to conceive apps that will enhance the usefulness of its routers that tie corporate networks together.
