The architecture of participation

The architecture of participation 08/17/2004 10:59 AM

Discussions about open source and innovation tend to cluster around two opposing memes. One says that open source can't innovate; the other that only open source can innovate. Both are wrong. Sometimes large, well-funded R&D programs can achieve breakthroughs that lone geniuses can't. And sometimes the reverse is true. Either way, the real innovation of the open source movement is the architecture of participation. It can help turn a good idea -- wherever it came from -- into a best-quality implementation. Software companies that don't choose the open source model have to find other ways to recruit and reward participants. [Full story at InfoWorld.com] [See also: other open-source-related items]

The term 'open source' presumes that the essence of software is source code, and that participation means hacking it. And that's true. But the emergence of the services model creates modes of participation that don't require access to source. Back in 2000, Rael Dornfest introduced the term open services in order to make that distinction. ...

Code v.2: Participation Requested

Code v.2: Participation Requested 03/19/2005 03:27 AM

A new web-based experiment is being undertaken by Creative Commons' Chairman, Lawrence Lessig. In 1999, Professor Lessig wrote Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace. After five years in print and five years of changes in law, technology, and the context in which they reside, he realized that Code needed an update, so he opened it up to the world to help. Using wiki technologies provided by JotSpot, you, or anyone else can contribute updates to Code.

Once the the project nears completion, Professor Lessig will take the contents of the wiki and ready it for publication. The resulting book, Code v.2, will be published in late 2005 by Basic Books. All royalties, including the book advance, will be donated to Creative Commons.

An excerpts from the site:

In the six years since its first publication, cyberspace has evolved to the point where Code now needs an update. In the five years since Code v.1, cyberspace has also evolved to enable new forms of digital creativity. In applying these new tools to the now-old text, we're harnessing the knowledge, creativity, and experience of the community, hopefully to build a better update than could have been done alone. This type of project was not possible until very recently: it is an experiment in technology and collaborative creativity. We're excited to see what happens.

This project also debuts the beta release of a newly branded Wiki license. The license works like Attribution-Shar eAlike, however, attribution can be set to the wiki, in this case Code v.2 Wiki, rather than each individual author. We've made this slight modification to the attribution clause in this beta version, and used it for this wiki, but we won't release the license generally till we've had the ordinary time for discussion.

A Look at the Eclipse IDE

A Look at the Eclipse IDE 11/16/2003 10:43 PM
Eclipse is an open source integrated development environment. It is primarily developed by OTI (Object Technology International Inc.), an IBM company. OTI, founded by Dave Thomas, is a famous name in this industry. OTI is something like the Pixar of the object-oriented world: a legendary company still at the forefront of the technology and releasing hit after hit. No wonder that some at IBM consider the OTI acquisition to be the best technology acquisition ever made by IBM.

Eclipse 3.0 RC2

Eclipse 3.0 RC2 06/12/2004 08:35 PM

I had been using Eclipse 3.0 RC1 for the past week but it was sluggish and I ran into a few hangups, so when I saw that Eclipse 3.0 RC2 was available, I got right on it.  Definitely better.  Startup is faster and shutdown takes only a second.  Nice.  I think I'll stick with this one until the final release is out which is due end of this month.  Eclipse bug count looks healthy although Platform UI and SWT team seems to be struggling a bit.

Downloading Eclipse took forever btw.  They have mirrors but mirrors are troublesome to use because it forces the user to find the package among the mirrors to download.  They should use BitTorrent IMHO and turn the mirrors into seeds.  BitTorrent needs to be more location-aware (actually route-aware) though.

More on Eclipse RCP

More on Eclipse RCP 07/11/2004 06:25 PM

I had problem building a working RCP application, so I put together the RCP Text Editor Example to see how to configure a RCP app.  If you want to build it yourself, instructions from the main RCP page at Eclipse site is below.  The page is actually a view into CVS, so I expect/hope the real main page will appear in the near future.

1. Download the RCP Runtime build from the Downloads page, and extract it to a folder such as c:\texteditor-example.
2. Download the RCP text editing component zip and extract it to the eclipse/plugins subfolder.
3. Download the texteditor plugin zip and extract it to the eclipse/plugins subfolder.
4. Replace the eclipse/configuration/config.ini file with the appropriate config file from the texteditor plugin. For example, on Windows, copy config_win32.ini file from org.eclipse.ui.examples.rcp.texteditor_1.0.0 plugin to eclipse/configuration and rename it to config.ini.
5. Run the eclipse executable: For example, on Windows, run eclipse.exe.

Step #4 is the key step while the rest are just downloading and expanding files.  After step #5, you should see a barebone text editor.  On Win32, the RCP text editor has disk footprint of 6MB and memory footprint of 28MB.  In comparison, NotePad2 has disk footprint of 540K and memory footprint of 4MB.  SWT apps I built before had substantially smaller footprints than the RCP app, but still significantly larger than native apps.

So what do we get for roughly ten times the footprints?  Plugins!  You can put together a fancy standalone IDE for Perl, Python, or PHP by packaging plugins from the EPIC, PyDev, or PHPEclipse projects with RCP.  You'll need to pour some sweats to glue things together because those projects are probably not fully RCP ready yet.

If you are not building an IDE, don't need IDE like level of extensibility, or there aren't many plugins useful to your product, you are probably better off skipping RCP and building on top of just SWT instead.
