BURLINGAME, Calif. -- The end of the calendar year seems a natural time to step back, take a deep breath, and check the pulse of open source development ahead of what promises to be an interesting -- and hopefully, very profitable -- 2004.

SAN FRANCISCO - The stage is set for some fireworks on the last day of the JavaOne show next week, where Sun Microsystems Inc. has assembled a panel to debate the thorny issue of whether it should release its Java technology under an open source license.

ComputerWorld: JavaOne: Sparks may fly at open-source debate. I wonder why people who are actually working on open-source Java are not on the panel; I imagine Tom Tromey or Dalibor Topic would be happy to participate. I'm less concerned about Sun's source code than about putting all Java implementers on a level footing, so if I were on this panel I'd be asking questions about JCK, shared code, and trademark licensing. The press never mentions these issues, possibly because Sun has framed the debate to be purely about their code.

Sun's studio creator has interesting collaboration-options built in: it comes with an instant messenger pane that has code-options, enabling things like copy'n paste of code (which will be sent with code-highlighting), doing code-completion in the IM window, and even sending entire files, which can subsequently be edited synchronously between both parties - very cool stuff.

Discussion

Podcast: Municipal Broadband Panel
Discussion 03/17/2005 03:44 AM
Listen to an hour of discussion at South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) on municipal broadband: Deep in the heart of Texas, mere blocks from the State House where a bill is under consideration to ban all forms of municipal networking, I led a panel discussion at SXSWi with three people well poised to discuss the issues: Esme Vos of muniwireless.com, Rich MacKinnon of Austin Wireless, and David Isenberg of the SMART Letter. The conversation was fairly focused, and you'll hear the same themes over and over again: disruptive technology is threatening incumbents who are trying to prevent all forms of experimentation and innovation by municipalities because any success on these fronts could produce competitive private businesses. All three panelists agreed the innovation and competition were good, and all four of us at various times agreed that utilities should probably not have anything to do with broadband except in facilitating competition by removing barriers to access to poles and conduits, or by contracting private firms to build neutral networks onto which any provider can roam. The audio quality is mixed: you can hear the panelists quite well, but questioners and commenters from the audience--including well-known quantities like Jock Gill, Dewayne Hendricks, Cliff Skolnick, and Jon Lebovsky--are a little faint. You can download the audio in MP3 format either directly as MP3 [31 MB] or as a ZIP archive [24 MB]. An article in yesterday's Austin Business Journal--in which publication my picture will appear in about two weeks in an unrelated story--points out that even airport-based Wi-Fi and broadband could be threatened because the contract that the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport has with Wayport would be banned under the first form of the house bill....

Rather than try to make the usual sweeping predictions about what the future holds for the computer hardware and software industries or even just for Linux and open source, I'm going to make some predictions about how tech news will be covered in the next year. Let's start by saying a minimum of 5000 articles (give or take 4900) will be written in 2004 declaring Linux "finally ready for the desktop," up from 3000 (give or take 2900) similar articles in 2003.

An open discussion about the future of
Spymac

An open discussion about the future of
Spymac 06/22/2005 01:54 AM
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to take this opportunity to talk about some of the issues that we've all noticed, and to let everyone know what we're doing about them. We are also very interested in hearing the community's feedback and ideas on the below points. Harassment and the overall quality of content on Spymac Spymac has always been intended to be a safe environment that serves as a break from real-world stresses. As of late, there has been an increase in harassing notes, abusive posts and all sorts of garbage that, put simply, lessens the Spymac experience. We feel that our greatest weakness (and cruelly, our greatest strength) is that Spymac is an open community. Anyone with a unique e-mail address can register for an account and enjoy or abuse our services and community. If a member abuses his or her privileges, Spymac is able to ban that account and its corresponding e-mail and IP address. That is not enough. It is far too simple to get a new e-mail address and register through a proxy or Internet cafe, for example, only to return to wreak further havoc. It's went relatively unnoticed, but the Spymac registration system has been closed for more than a week. We are not accepting any new accounts until we find a way to link more accountability to free member accounts. This is challenging because we are an international community with a diverse demographic. We don't want to make people pay anything (such is the case if we use a verification service), and we want to keep our doors open to the world-wide Internet community. We also don't want to set a barrier that is too high for the majority of valuable users interested in registering and enjoying a Spymac account. It is my belief that members will appreciate the new, safer and cleaner Spymac. Clearly, there are countless other places on the Internet where registration is completely anonymous. We have a few processes we are working on that we feel are optimal for our situation, and we are going to provide as many alternatives as possible. It is this point especially that we are interested in hearing your ideas and suggestions. Let's talk about how we can create a safe environment without setting the barrier too high. Reliability and security This is perhaps the area that we have to prove ourselves most in, and we will. The situation we're facing is that we are upgrading our cluster to utilize high-speed fiber channel technology. In conjunction with additions to the redundancy and backup features of our cluster, this upgrade will: Make Spymac community services fly, tremendously increase the reliability of all free and paid services, and offer the peace of mind needed to store important files with us. Truly, many members have their entire life stored on Spymac — from blogs to pictures to e-mail to web-pages — and it is our top priority to give those users the speed and reliability they deserve. The upgrade has been in progress for some time now. Without getting too technical, our system needs custom programming work done before we can fully utilize the upgrade. The programmers are working as fast as they can and we will launch with the new technology very soon (before the arrival of Spymac 4), but we are unable to speed up this process. All we can do is ask for your continued support and patience in this area. Most of you have been more-than-generous in this regard and we all thank you for that. We will make it up to users who have stood with us through this difficult transition, and we look forward to hearing your comments on what we can do for you to show our appreciation. A short note on security: This area had a few holes in the past that we admittedly did not have the foresight to plan for. We had a disturbing wake up call a few months ago and have since been planning and working on an abundance of security features and precautions to protect all of your data with Fort-Knox-level security (apologies for being trite). The pendulum is now swinging in the right direction and we want you all to know how important this issue is to us. Many of the changes have already been implemented, and others will be added with time. Spam and e-mail E-mail, e-mail... e-mail... For many of you, it's why you use Spymac; Others come for the community services and couldn't care less about it. The aforementioned hardware upgrade will fix the speed and reliability, and Spymac is working with a leader in SPAM prevention to cut-back on that garbage as much as possible. Again, actions speak louder than words and we just ask for the opportunity to prove ourselves in this area. The future Spymac 4 is a great thing and the whole team is busy at work to ensure its arrival on August 31. It will bring many changes to the core of Spymac and will ensure a bright future for our community and services. We don't want to give away too many details at this point (we like surprises, we know you do, too), but we will be pre-announcing some of the new features sometime in August. In the mean time, we need some help from members who would like to beta-test the new version, and from skilled graphic artists who can work with us to complete this huge undertaking. If you would like to volunteer to assist the Spymac 4 roll-out in one of these areas, please send me an e-mail (atarist@spymac.com). You'll have to sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement), but your help is absolutely fundamental to a successful release.

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.

IBM Adopts Open Development Internally: "Following on the success of its Eclipse open-source development platform, IBM has quietly been using a form of open-source development internally to create technology the company will sell commercially.

IBM calls its model Community Source, which it defines as a collaborative, internal, open-source-style environment for developing and testing new technology.

Danny Sabbah, vice president of strategy and technology for the IBM Software Group, in Armonk, N.Y., said IBM is using its Community Source model across 100 projects and 2,000 developers in the company. These projects span the IBM Software Group, Systems Group, Research and Global Services, he said."

Very interesting. I'd like to learn more about that. What parts of the so called open source development process have they built into the Community Source model? I've found that most developers have different definitions of the open source development process (via Ross Gardler).

When Open Source doesn't open and source

One frustration too many: time for a rant. When a bug in Mozilla (keyboard focus is on the previously selected window) has remained unfixed for at least 18 to 24 months, when XFree86 mouse interaction with PS/2 or GPM remains hazardous and makes a system unusable and that bug has been fobbed off to the kernel developers and not dealt with for at least two years - when there are more examples like this that make using Open Source software a pain, what do you do?

Are you one of the few people with the time and money and expertise sufficient to delve into the source yourself to fix the problem?

Do we have it "too good" and these niggles are, by comparison to the rest of the world's computer users (Windows), absolute peanuts?
