Mobilization of Software Developers: The Free Software Movement by Margret S. Elliott and Walter Scacchi
http://ope nsource.mit.edu/papers/elliottscacchi2.pdf

Abstract 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.

Radiuz Combines WPA-Enterprise with Free
Access

Radiuz Combines WPA-Enterprise with Free
Access 06/16/2004 04:24 PM
Radiuz offers WPA-Enterprise logins to free networks at no charge: Radiuz is a grand experiment in providing enterprise-scale security and encryption to free networks. Any network that wants to use Radiuz's authentication has to have an access point that handles pass-through 802.1X authentication, which most consumer units do. The access point is configured to talk to Radiuz's server, and that's it. Radiuz is using WPA-Enterprise, as the Wi-Fi Alliance terms it, which is 802.1X port-based authentication coupled with WPA encryption keys. Radiuz further layers PEAP (Protected EAP) on top to provide a secure exchange of credentials with their server. Radiuz tries to solve four interconnected problems with home and small-business networking. First, security isn't tight enough: most home users leave encryption off because it's annoying to manage. Second, even users who want to share their network connection are slightly leery of letting anonymous folks onboard. The development of NoCatAuth and LessNetworks's adaptation of that software are both attempts to provide accountability--in the former case, through a click-through terms of service; and adding user accounts in the latter case, although the accounts are free. Third, WPA-Personal uses a static key for all users, making it possible for one user with a WPA key to sniff the traffic of any other user. Distributing a WPA-Personal key to "protect" a network doesn't help protect it in that way. (A WPA key that's kept private among a home or workgroup does, however.) Fourth, WPA-Enterprise is beyond affordable for most smaller businesses, although products like Interlink Network's LucidLink and Wireless Security Corporation's Wireless Security Guard are steps in that direction. John Leibovitz is one of the founders of Radiuz, and we spoke recently about the organization's goals. Leibovitz describes Radiuz as a "cross between Wi-Fi and Friendster in a very kind of loose way." He and his co-founder Stephen Robinson want to build a community of registered users first and then see how to connect them. "The goal is really to build up that network, and to think creatively beyond that about how to make that economically sustaining," he said. Authentication will always remain free, however. People who want to join the Radiuz network sign up and receive information on how to configure their access point to use Radiuz's servers. Users who want access to Radiuz authenticated networks need to sign up out of band: you can't connect to the free network you need credentials....

NIH Proposes Free Access To Research Data
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A64389-2004Sep5.html

The National Institutes of Health has proposed a major change to its funding policy -- it would mandate that all scientists who receive grants from the agency make the results of their research available to the public for free. The policy change comes in response to a report by the House Appropriations Committee expressing concern that U.S. taxpayers are not reaping the benefits of research that they have paid for. The report urges NIH to devise a system whereby research results would be "freely and continuously available no later than six months after publication." The proposal drew swift criticism from the scientific publishing industry, which argued that if people stop subscribing to their publications because they can read about these research results for free, the journals will be unable to perform the costly process of selecting, peer-reviewing and editing the results into the reliable products now available. However, NIH Director Elias A. Zerhouni says he's concluded that publishers' estimates of how much such a system would harm them or cost the government were "way out of line" with reality. Although about 60,000 articles are published each year reporting on NIH-funded research, they constitute only a third of all biomedical journal articles. "Do you really think people are not going to subscribe to a journal because they can read 30% of the articles in it for free?" asks Richard Roberts, a research director at New England Biolabs, who strongly supports the shift to open access.

PHP: Free Software on Free Tools

PHP: Free Software on Free Tools 05/17/2004 10:25 AM

Open 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. Via PHP|Architect.

Anecdotally, Hotels Use Free Access as a
Selling Point

Anecdotally, Hotels Use Free Access as a
Selling Point 03/06/2004 01:49 AM
On a drive this last week from Los Angeles to Seattle, I noticed more hotels advertising free high-speed Internet access than ever before: I drove with my brother-in-law and a border collie from Los Angeles to Seattle over 2 1/2 days, starting on "the 5" (which turns into "I-5" north of the great central valley), cutting over to 101 along the northern coast, and then cutting back to I-5 at Grants Pass, Oregon. I saw several hundred billboards and the front doors of many hotels and motels as we drove along. Unlike previous long trips I've taken in the last couple of years, Internet is now a major bullet point for travelers. Most of the signs that advertised Internet service noted that it was high-speed and free, as well. Taken in the context of the travelers who pass along the routes we took, I can see that those services are a big necessity. In our case, our one night in a hotel in Ukiah didn't lead us to broadband since we were traveling with a dog. We looked into one chain, but they only had smoking rooms. We stayed at an inexpensive Super 8 that had free local and toll-free calls. My ISP had a Ukiah number, astoundingly, and thus I paid nothing for access in any case....
