Communities, social networking and open
source 05/16/2004 06:02 PM

Oh boy, something to write about on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

Thanks Ted - 'cause this is exactly what I've been feeling - that the code (whether it's GPL or whatever) is only part of the equation of software.  Clearly the Moveable Type community is feeling riped off as they could have sworn that they had something to do with the success of Moveable Type.

The ultimate betrayl happens when the folks who control the code - actually think that the code is their intellectual property that gets milked on the proverbial tit of business model - to reap the rewards of life - called profit.

The Moveable Type community ate the red pill and actually expected to Trotts to eat their own dogfood as well.  Well guess what? Everyone has a different difinition of what 'open' is.......

Tim O'Reilly says that Google and Amazon are open source.  Macromedia thinks Flash is open.  Dave Winer thinks RSS 2.0 is open.  Lots of different defintions of the same word.

At the end of the day - it's not just the code that makes up the standard, but the people who use it.  That's a very simple statement, but so so so so so so so so true.

As Ted has learned through his life - and currently at the OSAF, building products, iterating features and refining the software - takes time, energy and dedication.  SixApart knows that only too well, and Joi too - so it was their time to charge and nobody likes that.  Oh well.

No - the code is only PART of the equation of what software is - and it's the company that controls or owns the software - that gets to call the shots. 

That's why Macromedia does the stupid things it does - as it's not controlled by me anymore.  All future moves by Friendster are not being driven by Jonathan Abrams anymore (which actually gives Friendster some hope!)

All this doesn't happen by coincidence - it's actually the state of the art of our software ecosystem.  This is what happens when a bunch of hackers get laid off and have nothing to do.  We change the rules.

So if Matt Mullenweg plays his cards right, he can lead the world of WordPress forward and become the next SixApart - at which point he'll meet the next Joi and eventually will have to charge for WordPress.

It's called technology gravity - driven by money (and the rent and food and health plans.)More times than not - the developer of any open source software expects to make money off of the software - somewhere down the line....

I can guarentee you Mitch Kapor does!

But he's throwing in his $5M bucks and a few years of his time to get Chandler there.  So is Matt Mullenweg.

Here's Ted's post.... more response and inspiration from it - below.

Community owned weblogging tools. I've been trying to figure out what I think about the whole Movable Type situation, since Julie's blog is running on it.

For the record, I think that SixApart should be free to charge money for their product, and to price it as they see fit. That's how business works. SixApart is't a charity, and the rest of us have no business forcing them to be one if they don't want to be one.

Being an open source guy, I figured that the obvious angle to tackle was the open source one. So I thought about blogging, blogging as freedom of expression and what I perceive to be a good match between my personal goals/definition of blogging and open source software development. I read Mark Pilgrim's post about WordPress, and software freedom and open source. But as I thought about it some more, and tried to write a post about it, something didn't quite settle with me. Mark's post talked quite a bit about freedom, not being locked in and so forth, all the usual Free/Open Source stuff. But when I looked at the outcry over MT 3.0, I saw (among other things) that parts of the blogging community felt that their relationship with the Trotts/SixApart had been broken by the new licensing. I had wanted to write about the need for open source blogging software, of which there is plenty. However, I don't think that just being open source will be enough, or that matching or exceeding the feature set of MT 3.0 will be enough. My read on what made MT very special was that a sizable portion of the blogging community loved it, and felt that in some way MT was "their" package. Which of course, isn't true. It was (and is) SixApart's package. But I sensed in the outcry over MT 3.0 a yearning (at least in some parts of the blogging community) for a package that people "could call their own".

I think that some people believe that WordPress is that package, because the GPL will protect them from term changes such as SixApart's. Realistically, I expect to see more packages change terms as the blogging world expands. I don't think that just having a GPL'ed package is enoughl. The developers may still ignore the users. The developers may get tired and walk away. There are all kinds of problems that won't get fixed just because WordPress is under the GPL (or any other open source license). What WordPress (or any other suitable open source contender -- anytime you read WordPress here, insert your favorite open source contender) needs is a community. Normally, (from an Apache perspective) I'd say that WordPress needs to develop/enhance/diversify/grow its community. And that's probably true. But if the blogging community wants to have a blogging package "to call its own", then just switching blogs over to WordPress won't be enough. Folks should roll up their sleeves and get involved. I hear lots of people in the blogosphere talking about community. In real world communities like the Amish communities, when disasters happen, people chip in to help. When a barn burns down, people come together to put up a new one. It seems to me that some people view what happened with MT 3.0 as the blogging community's equivalent of a barn burning down.

So here's the punch line: If you are considering moving your blog to WordPress or some other open source blogging package as a result of what happened this week, don't drop in, switch your blog over, and drop out. Take your time, look around, and see if there's a way that you can help. [Ted Leung on the air]

Marc picks it up here again

So what is Broadband Mechanics gonna do about this?

What is my company doing in this world?

1.  All we want for people using our code - is credit.  We'll simply ask folks who use the PeopleAggregator, PeopleDNS or WebOutliner (or any other open projects we help make happen) to put our logo/emblem on the page and point to us.  It's up to us to make money after that.  But any code we open source - can be used however you want.  Breaking compatibility, forking or whatever is about a stupid as - as - as a young entreprenuer can make it.  That's not obviously what we want to see happen - but you have every right to be as stupud as you want.

2. Moveable Type maintained focus, compatibility and growth by balancing their own instincts with input from the community.  They then choose who they'd be friends with, as they can't possibly be friends with everyone!  Well guess what?  I disagree with that!  I think you CAN be friends with everyone - and you do it with a social network - like Tribe, 1UP.com or Orkut.  THIS is what I mean by applying a social network into a specific context.  What better way of establishing an open community blogging platform - then to build a socal newtork into it?

3.  So I'm gonna pitch Matt Mullenweg not only on supporting a basic FOAFnet import/export capability - but to have the entire PeopleAgrgegator built into WordPress as well.  For free - please take it - enjoy.  Just give us credit.

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).

Open-Source Mesh Group Releases
Software, Discusses Social Goals

Open-Source Mesh Group Releases
Software, Discusses Social Goals 04/28/2004 01:03 PM
Champaign-Urbana Community Wireless Network releases first-generation mesh/cloud software, seeks input and development: I spoke with Sascha Meinrath, one of the folks leading the CUWiN project, about the scope of the project, their goals for outside participation, and his recent trip to Amsterdam to meet with a group designing documentation on wireless networks for developing nations. The CUWiN project wants to allow self-forming, noncentralized, mesh-based Wi-Fi networks using standard, old PCs with no configuration. Slightly more advanced units could be ruggedized boxes using Compact Flash, but the basic unit would be a 486 or later PC with a bootable CD-ROM or bootable floppy that bootstraps a CD-ROM. Once booted, a unit finds other similar units without any other configuration or control and forms a mesh. "We've been developing software now since about 2000, and our idea is to build software that is super user friendly, super easy for someone who doesn't understand the nuances of the technology or community wireless networking to set up their own system," said Meinrath. It's an attempt to enable community networking to spread beyond the folks who are self-starters. To test their current software, they put together a bunch of old Pentium 133-based system with off-the-shelf Wi-Fi gear, burned CD-ROMs, booted the boxes and watched the mesh network form within five minutes. However, the current generation of software "won't scale well: there's no route prioritization, and there's this problem of the hidden node problem," he said. (In a hub-and-spoke network, hidden nodes can see the hub not other spokes and can disrupt other network traffic by improperly sending at times when other nodes are transmitting resulting in interference and back-off behavior that reduces network performance. Mesh avoids some hub and spoke problems, but can effectively move the hidden node problem to any mesh point that has some connected nodes that can hear each other and some that cannot.) CUWiN is design a system to prioritize routes among mesh nodes based on MIT Roofnet, and are looking into the Hazy Sighted Link State (HSLS) routing issue. HSLS uses packet economics: more dropped packets in a given route de-emphasizes it shunting more traffic to more successful routes. (Read more about this in CUWiN's FAQ.) The software release by CUWiN of a CD-ROM image containing bootable node software along with the developer's resource (distributed under a BSD license with plans to move to a GPL license) is part of...

A model for open source software
development 05/25/2004 11:36 AM
Critics of open source software have argued that, from an economic standpoint, "giving the product away" makes no sense. As a new business model, open source has been the victim of many misconceptions and mischaracterizations: that it's the equivalent of communism, that's it's like a virus, and that it's economically dangerous to society, for example. In such a hostile atmosphere, it's not easy to objectively assess a new paradigm that differs greatly from the status quo. However, though a comparable model may not exist in the IT sector, a parallel working model for open source already exists in at least one other field, biomedical research, and this model has been proven to be of great benefit to society.

The Jukebox Mode of Innovation: a Model of Commercial Open Source Development by Joachim Henkel
http://opensource.m it.edu/papers/henkel.pdf

Abstract by author:
In this paper, I explore the circumstances under which innovation processes without secrecy or intellectual property protection are viable, and where free revealing of innovations is a profit-maximizing strategy. Motivated by an empirical study of embedded Linux, I develop a duopoly model of quality competition. Firms require two complementary technologies as inputs, but differ with respect to the relative importance of these technologies. I find that a regime with compulsory revealing can lead to higher product qualities and higher profits than a proprietary regime. When the decision to reveal is endogenized, equilibria with voluntary revealing arise, again superior to the proprietary outcome.
