05/11/2004 09:21 AM TORONTO -- Day 2 of the KMDI Open Source conference started with
Robert F. Young, cofounder of Red Hat, Inc. presenting a positive view
about open source business models. At the end of a conference day
lasting nearly 13 hours, Young returned to deliver the conference's
keynote address. In between, Jason Matusow of Microsoft's Shared
Source Initiative gave attendees a very differernt point of view about
the value of open source in the enterprise. No real surprises there.

01/16/2004 11:32 AMRiyadh -- It was a small, one-day conference aimed at government and
industry IT heads. I counted a maximum of 127 men in the auditorium. A
few women attended, but in accordance with Saudi tradition they were
in a separate room, watching through closed-circuit TV. Two
easily-identified Microsoft trolls were also in the main auditorium
audience, asking the same questions Microsoft hirelings ask at open
source conferences all over the world, but they didn't make much
headway.

03/14/2005 04:05 PMPORTLAND, Ore. -- Far away from the usual open source software
industry focus on code, freedom, and evangelism, the InnoTech
conference and expo held here this week centered on the business of
open source for business' sake. Sure there was talk about the
advantages of Linux and open source technology, the ability to impact
operating system-level functionality, and fighting unwarranted fears
of a different model, but the heart of the conference was the beat of
business -- cutting costs, driving value, and saving time and grief.

05/05/2004 04:06 AMAbout a month ago, Microsoft posted some of its source code to
SourceForge. SourceForge is a, if not the, major distribution point
for open source software. 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.

04/05/2005 11:50 AM 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

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

Open source and visible source
Open source and visible source
06/08/2004 09:11 AM
Zope Corp.'s layered strategy of engagement with open source and
visible-source communities is a compelling blend of the strengths of
free and commercial software development. In two previous columns, Open
source citizenship and Giving
back to open source, I explored the tendency of enterprises to
fork open source projects rather than join them. Pedhazur suggests
that a commercial entity supporting both an open source base and a
visible-source layered product can reduce the need to fork. By
outsourcing code enhancements, the argument goes, an enterprise can
enjoy single-throat-to-choke control without seceding from a project's
community. It remains to be seen how broadly this model can apply, but
in cases where it does, what's not to like? [Full story at
InfoWorld.com]
In this
two-minute
clip, Zope Corp.'s Chairman Hadar Pedhazur describes the visible
source model as a middle-ground option between the few large open
source projects, whose direction an enterprise cannot easily
influence, and the many smaller ones that enterprises can influence,
but typically fork in order to do so.
