IBM Frees Cloudscape Into The Open

IBM Frees Cloudscape Into The Open
Source Skies... 08/03/2004 01:43 AM
There are plenty of sites that cover various "open source" news stories that we usually avoid around here, but it's worth noting that IBM has decided to release the source code for the Cloudscape Java database technology that they own. Obviously there are already some very popular open source databases out there, but the fact that IBM is donating a fairly large product into the open source world shows that they seem to understand at least some of the benefits of open source, while other companies still continue to insist there's something evil about open source technologies. Recognizing that (a) the product isn't central to their strategy and (b) more active development around it may drive more demand for their own Websphere offering, it makes perfect sense to open source Cloudscape (now to be known as Derby). It would be nice if more companies began to realize that not everything they've worked on needs to be sold. If it can be used as a form of a promotion that drives more sales for other products, that can often be a very intelligent strategy.

Open source cracks publishing wide open

Open source cracks publishing wide open 06/17/2004 11:24 AM
Once upon a time, publishing was the domain of large corporations. Then came desktop publishing and the tools to produce a book shrank from the cost of an aircraft carrier to the price tag of a PT boat. Now, small publishers on the bleeding edge of technology are fomenting a revolution that may change the publishing market forever. Open source publishing tools, long derided as not being ready for battle, are proving themselves in the trenches of small publishing.

Stealing with Mouth Wide Open? 04/02/2005 10:51 PM

Last night, I've been thinking about Russell's post on PSP in which he wrote:

So I snagged Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow this weekend via BitTorrent and then converted it to run on my PSP.

Actually, it wasn't that he snagged a major movie off BitTorrent that had me thinking.  He wouldn't have been able to unless it wasn't a common albeit illegal and shadowy activity.

What had me thinking was his response to the obvious questions:

I simply described an activity that many, many people are already doing with or without me. Do you really think that not talking about this sort of illegal use of BitTorrent is going to somehow protect it?

While my answer to his question is no, I do think talking in public about illegal activities does somehow cause changes, changes which the affected or interested parties (i.e. MPAA, FBI) may consider extremely harmful and thus proceed to counter by setting examples.

Based on my mutated theory of ying and yang, what belongs in the shadow should stay in the shadow.  Failing to do so leads to chaos.

Mind Wide Open excerpt

Mind Wide Open excerpt 02/18/2004 10:53 AM
Salon is running a long excerpt from Steven Johnson's mindblowing new book, Mind Wide Open, which I read last week and have been returning to in my thoughts several times a day. Johnson takes apart the jargon and theory of various kinds of brain and mind science and exposes us to a bunch of aha! moments about the physiological, evolutionary and non-material bases for our thought processes. Reading this book, you get this curious form of vertigo in which you begin to see your brain as a collection of chemicals and processes and physiological serendipities, and then realize that that very same collection of goo is the thing that is having this realization, and boy, that's a weird goddamned feeling. As for me, after reading this I'm in the market for a cheap travel-sized USB neurofeedback EEG.

Areas that do show noticeable changes appear on the images as a cluster of bright yellow pixels, fading out to orange and red at their peripheries. The images look strikingly like the Doppler radar images you see on the Weather Channel. (If you blur your eyes a little, you might think that yellow patch on the image was a thunderhead, not a brainstorm.) The image is projected over a grid with numbers running along each axis. The numbered grid and the slices create a three-dimensional system of coordinates, the latitude and longitude of neuromapping. The grid is made up of small cubes called "voxels," and each voxel has a specific address.

Joy begins by laying down the twenty-five slices for stage one of our experiment, the dreaded checkerboard. The pattern of activity is immediately visible, even to my untutored eyes, mostly because there's literally nothing going on in 95 percent of my brain. Only a thin band wrapping around the back of my head, roughly at ear level, glows yellow.

"We know that the flashing checkerboard is a very salient stimulus for just the visual processing areas of the brain," she says. "And that's exactly what's happening here."

Wide Open Spaces: Wikis, Ready or Not

Wide Open Spaces: Wikis, Ready or Not 09/09/2004 05:25 AM
Wide Open Spaces: Wikis, Ready or Not by Brian Lamb/strong>
http://www.edu cause.edu/pub/er/erm04/erm0452.asp

In 1999, the World Wide Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee looked back on the previous decade and lamented: “I wanted the Web to be what I call an interactive space where everybody can edit. And I started saying ‘interactive,’ and then I read in the media that the Web was great because it was ‘interactive,’ meaning you could click. This was not what I meant by interactivity.” That vision of a genuinely interactive environment rather than “a glorified television channel”—one in which people not only would browse pages but also would edit them as part of the process—did not disappear with the rise of the read-only Web browser.1 It’s churning away more actively than ever, in a vivid and chaotic Web-within-the-Web, via an anarchic breed of pages known as “wikis.”. This has been added to my Wikis section in Bots, Blogs and News Aggregators web page.

"There was a perception that we'd always buy Microsoft software," says MIS Manager Mike Figeuroa. But that is all about to change. "We are doing a complete migration to open source."

Red Hat frees Fedora project

Red Hat frees Fedora project 06/05/2005 11:36 PM
Mark Webbink, deputy general counsel for Red Hat, announced in his keynote address this morning at the Red Hat Summit that Red Hat is freeing the Fedora project from its direct control. Red Hat has created the Fedora Foundation -- to be run by an independent board of directors -- which will direct and control the project from now on. Webbink said Red Hat made this move because it listened to the Fedora community when it said it would be more comfortable about the project if it were not directly owned by a commercial firm.
