Open source helps Flickr share photos 02/05/2005 09:14 PM
Flickr, the online photo-sharing Web site, is a good case study on the benefits of open source. The technology that powers Flickr is a catalog of open source tools: Red Hat Linux, the Apache Web server, MySQL databases, PHP, Perl, Smarty templates, Postfix mail gateways, and even ImageMagick to handle the image manipulation.

VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) is being heavily hyped these days.  Systems come in various sizes, supporting anywhere from 25 to 1,200 users across multiple locations, time zones, and continents, and open source products are available across the spectrum. The reason for adopting VoIP is simple: the cost savings involved with putting voice and data on the same network. The argument for open source in VoIP is similarly simple: solutions that make use of open source software are less expensive than traditional PBX or Centrex systems and proprietary VoIP solutions.

The Organic Valley farming cooperative had a Web site and email for its member farms, but it desperately needed a corporate-style intranet to facilitate collaboration and better communication. That's where the open source MetaDot project came in, replacing phpWebSite as the sole point of reference for Organic Valley's employees and members. Now that the organization is familiar with open source software, it's finding open source alternatives may be the answer to more software dilemmas.

As buzz continues to grow about the rise of open source software, one giant question remains. How will people without broadband be able to obtain open source programs? Most all open source releases are only made available for Internet download by their development groups, thus eliminating access to these programs to anyone without an Internet or broadband connection. Rokland LLC has answered this question with their latest release of Rokland Office Suite, version 2.0. This new CD-ROM brings together some of the most popular and most needed open source programs including a full-featured office suite, email client, and antivirus software. [PRWEB Mar 14, 2005]

BTW, I tagged them all “gaminginli braries” in case anyone else wants to play along, too. Or maybe we should start a group?

Flickr -- the fantastic social image-sharing Web app from Ludicorp -- has added image annotation; you can draw boxes around bits of the photos you post and mark up the contents of each box. When a viewer mouses over the box, a tooltip pops up with the annotation. Super cool.

My March 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).

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

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

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.
