Will DB2 and Oracle databases go open

08/06/2004 06:25 AMA prediction that both IBM DB2 and Oracle databases would head toward
open source in some way by the end of the year got a little more
interesting as Big Blue announced a partnership with the Apache
Software Foundation to release its Cloudscape Java-based database to
the community, which is turning the database into an open source
project called Derby.
Why I prefer Open Source databases
Why I prefer Open Source databases
09/16/2002 07:41 AM- By JT Smith - I've been working with databases for many years. I
started out with Oracle and Informix then used a little Sybase. Then I
discovered open source and used mSQL, MySQL, and PostgreSQL pretty
extensively. Most recently I've been working with Oracle again, and
just started playing with MSSQL. Why is any of this important? It’s
important because I've seen the good and the bad of all these systems.
And perhaps even more important are ...

04/05/2005 11:50 AM IBM Adopts
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).
