rise of elegance in open source software."
Important stuff for everyone to read and think about. I wish both
my Linux boxes and my Windows boxes had better, more elegant, and more
consistent interfaces.
Good conversation in the comments on this article too.

The natural complement to
W3C specifications is running code.
Implementation and testing is an essential part of specification
development and releasing the code promotes exchange of ideas in the
developer community. All W3C software is
Open Source /
Free Software,
and
GPL
compatible. See the
lice
nse for details (and the following if you intend
to contribute). Note that as this license is GPL compatible,
it is possible to redistribute software based on W3C sources under a
GPL license.

04/10/2005 07:12 AMFree software and Open Source: The freedom Debate and Its
Consequences By Mathias Klanght
tp://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue10_3/klang/index.htmlAbstract:To most outsiders the ethics
of software is not something usually considered. To most proficient
computer users with a passing interest in this question the ethics of
software is recognised as one of the fundamental questions in the
digital rights area. To most of the latter, terms such as free
software, open source, and their derivatives (FLOSS, FOSS, Software
Freedom) are interchangeable. Choosing one over the other is a matter
of taste rather than politics. However, to most insiders the
question is not one of taste. There is a fundamental difference
between the two areas even if they share a similar root. Free software
is not the same as open source. The two groups differ in their
fundamental philosophical approach to software and its importance to
society as a whole. This paper examines the two groups’ differing
philosophies and explores how their actions have affected software
development, access to fundamental software infrastructure, and the
development of the concept of freedom.

11/01/2003 05:18 AMAs an occasional user of Linux, and someone in the software industry,
I've followed the "Open Source" movement for quite some time. To a
minority, Open Source Software (specifically GPL licensed Open Source
Software) represents an ideological and sociological movement,
something that will change the world. To the majority, it is simply a
way to get cool and useful software without going through the expense
of buying, or the hassle of pirating it.

That is so beautiful.

covering the holy grail of information gathering: asking people... In
the process, I will also show you some of the better locations to

system, I can be sure of getting lots of "interesting" mail in my
inbox. There's a good bit of confusion about open source software
among members of the general public, journalists of the general press
and even among those of us who should know better.

05/25/2004 11:36 AMCritics of open source software have argued that, from an economic
standpoint, "giving the product away" makes no sense. As a new
business model, open source has been the victim of many misconceptions
and mischaracterizations: that it's the equivalent of communism,
that's it's like a virus, and that it's economically dangerous to
society, for example. In such a hostile atmosphere, it's not easy to
objectively assess a new paradigm that differs greatly from the status
quo. However, though a comparable model may not exist in the IT
sector, a parallel working model for open source already exists in at
least one other field, biomedical research, and this model has been
proven to be of great benefit to society.

ing News: 5/17/2004: Dave Winer announced today that the kernel of
Manila and Radio — the object databae
code — will be open-sourced sometime in the next few months.
To fans of UserLand Software it must seem inevitable that
the kernel will go this way, it sure did to me. But I am on the board
of directors of the company, and I persuaded my fellow board members
that it would be in the company's interest to let the kernel develop
separately from the products that build on it.
Don't get too excited, however — these are the ugly guts of
the system, written in C. It will take a fair amount of work for
someone to do anything constructive with it.

see why not. The founder and president of OpenMFG says his company's
approach of combining open source development with licensed selling is
the right way to handle the complex and changing world of business

01/06/2004 01:05 PMJ.T. Smith, founder and CEO of Illinois-based Plain Black Software,
didn't originally plan to work full-time on WebGUI, a user-friendly
Web content management system (CMS) he first released in 2001. Since
then, J.T. has built a profitable business selling WebGUI
documentation, training, and consulting. This article is the
lightly-edited transcript of an IRC conversation J.T. and I had on 5
January 2004. J.T. is as open as WebGUI's source code about how and
why his company is profitable, which makes this article "required
reading" for anyone who's ever thought about building a company based
on open source software.
