Behind four Linux community sites

Behind four Linux community sites 06/03/2004 08:35 AM
In our recent overview of Linux community sites we highlighted several active sites that offered news, reviews, commentary, and Linux information. We thought an interesting followup would be to ask their administrators about the technology they use to get online.

A splintering Linux community

A splintering Linux community 06/12/2004 04:56 AM
We now have two distinct classes of Linux users whose interests are not the same, and perhaps we have more than that if we want to talk about people who think of software in political rather than pragmatic terms. Can these factions work together, or will tensions between them eventually kill the free software and open source movements?

ESR: Linux community stands behind
AutoZone 03/06/2004 02:04 AM
To: Steve Odland, President and CEO of AutoZone The Linux community, and the wider open-source software movement of which it is a part, learned this morning that SCO is suing AutoZone, Inc. (and DaimlerChrysler Corp.) over alleged IP violations related to its move from SCO Unix to Linux. We regret that you have become the latest victim in the campaign of barratry, fraud, and stock-kiting that SCO has been waging. We want you to know that you are not alone, and that you have in fact just made a great many friends.

Christmas 12/22/2003 11:25 AM
SCO is celebrating the end of one year and the start of the next with a new twist in its long, ever-changing, and never substantiated legal saber-rattling against IBM and all things Linux. In this latest turn, they have embraced the DMCA, claiming in a news release today that "Distribution of the copyrighted ABI code, or binary code compiled using the ABI code, with copyright management information deleted or altered, violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act codified by Congress at 17 U.S.C. §1202. DMCA liability extends to those who have reasonable grounds to know that a distribution (or re-distribution as required by the GPL) of the altered code or copyright information will induce, enable, facilitate, or conceal an infringement of any right under the DMCA."

We're still debugging the new layout and code; there may be glitches for a few days. But we were w-a-y overdue for a new look and decided to put it up a little early so you'd have a chance to check it out and play with it before we made any formal announcement to the rest of the world. Please let us know what you think of the new layout either by posting a comment or taking half a second to click a Poll button. Or both.

Happy Holidays from NewsForge

Happy Holidays from NewsForge 12/24/2003 08:10 PM
Most major religions have some sort of holiday during this season, and in countries that use the Gregorian calendar many companies close down or work short hours until the current year ends and the next one begins. We, too, will be taking time off to spend with our families and friends, so NewsForge will be on a reduced posting schedule between now and January 1.

Revenge of the User: Lessons from
Creator/User Battles ETCON talk notes 02/11/2004 04:31 PM
Here're my running notes from danah boyd's Re venge of the User: Lessons from Creator/User Battles at the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference in San Diego.

The response is an attempt to "configure the users" -- constrain behavior to acceptable behavior with messaaging, kicking people off, etc.

This won't work: you can't tell a hacker not to hack. These kids are social hackers. You can stop some bad behavior, but you chase off your best users, too.

Dating doesn't happen because you're in a dating context. Dating arises out of real contexts.

Taking away fakesters didn't make Frienster more real. Friendster is unreal because people never remove their friends, even if they never see them (the exception is when you break up, ironic, because ex-lovers are strong ties!).
