CherryOS is
apparently moving from a commercial product to the world of open

the product was on hold, until further notice, but that was changed
today to say, "Due to Overwhelming Demand, Cherry Open Source Project
-- Launches 5.1.2005."

Sun
Readies Open Code,
Michael Singer: "Other analysts say Sun could also open source its
enterprise blogging application, named Roller. While the platform
began
its life as an open source project, before Sun hired its founder David
Johnson, the company has not given the software the full on corporate
treatment since he joined."
I don't believe those "other analysts" actually exist,
this guy is just talking out of his, uh, never mind. I guess I need to
set the record straight. First, Roller is and has always been open
source. The version of Roller we use at Sun is the same one that you
can download from the Roller project site at
Java.Net in either source code
or binary form. Second, I'm not interested in the "full on corporate
treatment" -- I'm a married man.

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.

11/01/2003 09:36 AMWired on Open Source Biology
Wired on Open Source Biology
02/01/2005 08:39 PMAn interesting article from Wired on the folks at
Biological Innovation for Open Society
(BIOS), a group in Australia advocating an open-source approach to
biology. I know the folks at BIOS and recommend you poke around their
site if you're interested in open biology.
Here's
the story; it's a good read.
One point, which is actually pretty major, of contention. We see
Science Commons described as being in a supposed "battle" with the
biotechnology companies of the world.
This is a perception that Science Commons will have to work against -
the idea that, by advocating voluntary changes to inefficient systems,
we are somehow "against" the companies pursuing scientific innovation.
It's just not the case.
I have a feeling I'm going to be making this particular point a lot.
We are not trying to convince people to "abandon" their patents. We
are instead trying to create a network of rights that will support
innovation in the sciences, much like Creative Commons has built a
network of rights that support legal distribution and reuse of
creative works.
What do I mean by this? Well, right now, if I'm working on a rare
disease (diseases that are not profitable to pursue by for-profit
pharmaceutical companies) I might face multiple barriers. First, I
have to hire a lawyer to negotiate multiple licenses with multiple
universities on various genetic research tools. Second, once I use
those tools to discover a set of genes, I have to send my lawyer back
out to negotiate with the owners of patents on the use of those genes.
Given that I'm not likely to make money on a drug (it's a rare
disease after all), why should I spend my research money on a lawyer
instead of science? But that's exactly what is happening...despite
the fact that, in many cases, the holders of those patents would be
happy to let me operate in my area, as long as I didn't infringe on
their areas of reasearch.
This is the kind of problem we're trying to solve at Science Commons.
We want to work with all of the stakeholders, commercial and
non-commercial, to encourage the publication of legally available
scientific knowledge, whether that knowledge is represented in
literature, patents, or data. It's not a "battle" for us. It's an
exploration of how to build just such a Web of knowledge so that
collaborative research and discovery in science can grow to Web scale.

because, on the same day, a new events database called

others:
Dan

The consensus seems to be that EVDB will be a Web-2.0-style,

promising! I'll certainly check it out when it's public.

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.

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.
