06/17/2004 05:32 AMMobilization of Software Developers: The Free Software
Movement by Margret S. Elliott and Walter Scacchihttp://ope
nsource.mit.edu/papers/elliottscacchi2.pdfAbstract by Author:Free/open source software
(F/OSS) development projects are growing at a rapid rate. Globally
dispersed virtual communities with large groups of software developers
contribute time and effort often without pay. One force behind this
phenomenon is the Free Software Movement (FSM), a 20 year-old social
movement whose purpose is to promote the use of free software instead
of proprietary software. We show how the ideology of the FSM
influences software development work practices in F/OSS communities
and how an occupational community of F/OSS developers has emerged from
this movement. We present results from an empirical study of a F/OSS
development community, GNUenterprise (GNUe) whose purpose is to build
an Enterprise Resource Planning system. We show how the beliefs in
freedom and freedom of choice, and the values of cooperative work and
community building are manifested in the GNUe norms of informal
self-management, immediate acceptance of fellow contributors, and open
disclosure.

PHP: Free Software on Free Tools
PHP: Free Software on Free Tools
05/17/2004 10:25 AMOpen
Source: Open Source Scripting Made Easy: This is an article about
PHP scripting tools that makes an important point:
Commercial scripting languages have drawn success from
powerful and widely used development tools: ASP has Visual Studio,
ColdFusion has Macromedia's Dreamweaver, and JSP has a variety of
tools from commercial sources such as Borland and open source projects
such as Eclipse and NetBeans. PHP's enormous success, however, is not
tied to specific tools.
Some friends of mine have been working with Microsoft's .Net
platform. They tell me it's amazing ("fan-friggin'-tastic," one of
them called it). This is great, but I guess I don't like anything
where the barrier to entry is so high — first you have to have a
Windows server, then you have to have the Windows dev environment.
I code PHP in EditPlus,
which cost me all of $30, and that was an optional purchase because
there are so many other free alternatives. Maybe I'm just a snob.

02/01/2005 09:15 PMThe New York Times reports the F.B.I. believes its $170 million
systems overhaul may be a total failure: F.B.I. May Scrap Vital
Overhaul of Its Outdated Computer System. Recognized as a critical
component to fighting terrorism, the FBI sought to develop a paperless
solution with many customized features. From the following description
of their current situation, it sure sounds like they need some
upgrades:
As it stands now, the bureau's counterterrorism files are largely
online, but investigators often may not have immediate access to data
from other parts of the bureau. So, for instance, an agent may not be
immediately aware of information from an investigation into
credit-card fraud that could be relevant to a terrorism case. In
addition, the bulk of the internal reports and documents produced at
the bureau must still be printed, signed and scanned by hand into
computer format each day, officials said.
Anyone who's been involved with critical, large-scale software
development projects knows how hard they can be to complete
(regardless of whether they're on time and/or budget). In a statement
that will resonate with clients and consultants everywhere, a senior
official from the FBI stated:
"I did not get what I envisioned" from the project...But he said the
F.B.I. today had a better understanding of its computer needs and
limitations as a result of the effort. "The lesson we have learned
from this $170 million is invaluable," he said.
Jeez, it seems like you could have figured that out for a lot less
than $170 million! A better use of the funds would have been $11.53
for The Myth of the Paperless Office, $33.24 for the classic The
Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering, and $33.95 for the
excellent Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams.
So $170,000,000 - $78.72 leaves $169,999,921.28 to put towards
requirements definition, prototyping, and ultimately programming.
Surely overhauling such a massive system is a daunting, difficult
challenge, but as Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont said, "Bringing
the F.B.I.'s information technology into the 21st century should not
be rocket science." When projects are this critical, and this
expensive, they cannot be allowed to fail.

Software
Personal Project and Task Manager
Software
05/06/2004 02:52 AMI have always used some kind of database application to track tasks
and to-dos (and sometimes billing when I've been consulting), from the
first custom application I wrote in the 1980's in Paradox for DOS, to
a Filemaker database in the early 1990's, to an Excel spreadsheet in
the late 1990's. What application I use seems to have more to do with
what platform I'm spending most of my time in than the inherent
qualities of the application itself. Mostly, I want the application to
stay out of the way and be as easy to use as a text file. These days,
I'm spending a lot of time around web servers and have them running on
all 4 of my computers, as well as at various data centers, and I am
running a fair number of web applications locally on my laptops and
desktops, like a Wiki, a family weblog and an RSS aggregator (Feed on
Feeds). I still don't have the data synchronizing seamlessly between
the different computers, but I'm getting closer. It seemed natural to
try a web application to keep track of my task list for some projects
I am working on, so I recently started using Alex King's brilliant
little Tasks personal to-do application. I've fallen in love with it.
As someone who has been part of designing several web applications, I
know that doing good web application user interfaces is very hard.
Tasks has one of the best web application user interfaces I have ever
seen. King makes smart use of Javascript to enhance the functionality
of the forms, and he uses small graphics to create a clean,
uncluttered and highly functional look. It is very easy to enter,
modify, re-arrange and view tasks. And, unlike lots of web
applications, it seems to work well with a multiplicity of browsers.
It is a well thought out, fast, lightweight server-based application.
The only thing I don't like about it is that King picks font sizes
that are too small for middle aged eyes -- luckily those are easy to
change in the stylesheet. If you want to have access to your to-do
list from anywhere, or if you are already running web apps locally,
and if you are comfortable installing a PHP application on your
webserver, I highly recommend Tasks, both the older donation requested
version and the updated $30 one. King just seriously upgraded Tasks...
