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.

My

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.

terms of the Common Public License, which allows modification,
addition, redistribution - in short, it allows most of the rights and

The measure could provoke a popular backlash in Taiwan and quickly

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

When Open Source doesn't open and source
doesn't matter
07/20/2004 11:14 AMOne 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?

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.
