Open Source Metadata Framework (OMF)
Open Source Metadata Framework (OMF)
04/17/2004 06:05 AMOpen Source Metadata Framework (OMF)http://www.ibiblio.org/osrt/om
f/The OMF aims to collect data about Open Source
documentation, or metadata, that will be used to describe the
documentation. The idea is that the OMF will act as a sophisticated
card catalog type of system for the numerous Open Source documentation
projects that exist. The OMF offers a number of advantages over
standard card catalog type systems, however. Chief among these is the
fact that the OMF has been designed from the ground up to be
completely open, standards based, and sharable. We will accomplish
this by using pre-defined standards (XML and the Dublin Core
description for metadata) and allowing all metadata generated to be
accessed by anyone that wants it. Because the metadata itself is to be
stored in XML files, anyone should be able to use it.
Open source hides secret data
Open source hides secret data
06/22/2005 02:10 AMThe art of hiding information from anyone except from the intended
receiver has been used for many centuries. Hiding information by
embedding it in other, seemingly innocuous information is known as
steganography, a word that means "covered writing" in Greek. Today,
steganography applications can hide one file within another on a
computer. Steganography applications are available on many different
platforms, including Windows, Linux, and *BSD.

replicates user email in three places; if a disk or a server dies, GFS
can automatically make a new copy from one of the remaining two.
Compress the email for a 3:1 storage win, then store user's email in
three locations, and their raw storage need is approximately
equivalent to the user's mail size." Story

because, on the same day, a new events database called

addition, redistribution - in short, it allows most of the rights and

Open Development Internally: "Following on the success of its
Eclipse open-source development platform, IBM has quietly been using a
form of open-source development internally to create technology the
company will sell commercially.
IBM calls its model Community Source, which it defines as a
collaborative, internal, open-source-style environment for developing
and testing new technology.
Danny Sabbah, vice president of strategy and technology for the IBM
Software Group, in Armonk, N.Y., said IBM is using its Community
Source model across 100 projects and 2,000 developers in the company.
These projects span the IBM Software Group, Systems Group, Research
and Global Services, he said."
Very interesting. I'd like to learn more about that. What parts of the
so called open source development process have they built into the
Community Source model? I've found that most developers have different
definitions of the open source development process (via
Ross
Gardler).

When Open Source doesn't open and source
doesn't matter
When Open Source doesn't open and source
doesn't matter
07/20/2004 11:14 AMOne frustration too many: time for a rant. When a bug in Mozilla
(keyboard focus is on the previously selected window) has remained
unfixed for at least 18 to 24 months, when XFree86 mouse interaction
with PS/2 or GPM remains hazardous and makes a system unusable and
that bug has been fobbed off to the kernel developers and not dealt
with for at least two years - when there are more examples like this
that make using Open Source software a pain, what do you do?
Are you one of the few people with the time and money and
expertise sufficient to delve into the source yourself to fix the
problem?
Do we have it "too good" and these niggles are, by comparison to
the rest of the world's computer users (Windows), absolute peanuts?

Open source and visible source
Open source and visible source
06/08/2004 09:11 AM
Zope Corp.'s layered strategy of engagement with open source and
visible-source communities is a compelling blend of the strengths of
free and commercial software development. In two previous columns, Open
source citizenship and Giving
back to open source, I explored the tendency of enterprises to
fork open source projects rather than join them. Pedhazur suggests
that a commercial entity supporting both an open source base and a
visible-source layered product can reduce the need to fork. By
outsourcing code enhancements, the argument goes, an enterprise can
enjoy single-throat-to-choke control without seceding from a project's
community. It remains to be seen how broadly this model can apply, but
in cases where it does, what's not to like? [Full story at
InfoWorld.com]
In this
two-minute
clip, Zope Corp.'s Chairman Hadar Pedhazur describes the visible
source model as a middle-ground option between the few large open
source projects, whose direction an enterprise cannot easily
influence, and the many smaller ones that enterprises can influence,
but typically fork in order to do so.
