My
March
21 entry about upcoming.org turned out to be an odd juxtaposition
because, on the same day, a new events database called
EVDB was announced and shown at PC
Forum. It's due out shortly in public beta but I haven't seen it, so
for now I only know what you can also learn from reading, among
others:
Dan
Farber,
Ross
Mayfield,
Om Malik,
David
Weinberger, and
Paul
Kedrosky (whose recent archive is missing this morning, yikes).
The consensus seems to be that EVDB will be a Web-2.0-style,
Wiki-style, RSS-friendly, Flickr-and-del.icio.us-like thingy. Sounds
promising! I'll certainly check it out when it's public.

SourceForge. SourceForge is a, if not the, major distribution point
for open source software. Microsoft's code was put there under the
terms of the Common Public License, which allows modification,
addition, redistribution - in short, it allows most of the rights and
privileges that we associate with open source software.

deterred open-source hackers, who have released a free software patch
for a well-known Explorer vulnerability.
Update: Andrew sez, "...it contains buffer overflow exploits that are wide open for hax0r5 to take
advantage of. In addition, it redirects weird URL requests to -it's
own website-."

08/03/2004 10:28 AMwashingtonpost.com - Plenty of tech experts have spent years trying to
convince the general public that the Linux operating system is
becoming more of a threat to Microsoft's Windows. With the LinuxWorld
conference underway this week in San Francisco, there is finally a
sure-fire sign that this may be the case: Microsoft won't be there.
Open source cracks publishing wide open
Open source cracks publishing wide open
06/17/2004 11:24 AMOnce 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.

I'm an open source virgin, but Microsoft

04/26/2004 11:53 AMToo many open source advocates complain about Microsoft writing
terrible buggy software and think that open source developers do it
better. The truth is Microsoft is innovative, has vision, and
executes well. If open source developers can do as well as Microsoft,
it's a big compliment. Smart people like Miguel de Icaza and Brendan
Eich have known this for a long time. Miguel has a reality check for
these innocent virgins.
Brendan (one of the Mozilla leads) has a frank assessment of Mozilla too. I talked about this last
year.
