dashboard to its Service Manager. The registry-based dashboard uses
real-time alerts to improve Web services performance by securing,
monitoring, and managing XML and Web services and providing
centralized management of service-oriented architectures (SOAs). The
dashboard offers an easy-to-use graphical interface with visual
indicators such as live charts and color-coded graphs that enable
customers to monitor service-level agreements, security thresholds,
and performance metrics. The registry-based dashboard will be included
in the SOA Software Service Manager 3.0, which is slated to ship in
May.? Service Manager pricing starts at $5,000 per CPU.

I've just joined the Open Source Initiative (OSI) board.
Open Source
Initiative (OSI) is a non-profit corporation dedicated to managing and
promoting the Open Source
Definition for the good of the community, specifically through the
OSI Certified Open Source Software certifica
tion mark and program. You can read about successful software
products that have these properties, and about our certification
mark and program, which allow you to be confident that software really
is "Open Source." We also make copies of approved open
source licenses here.
The basic idea behind open source is very simple: When programmers
can read, redistribute, and modify the source code for a piece of
software, the software evolves. People improve it, people adapt it,
people fix bugs. And this can happen at a speed that, if one is used
to the slow pace of conventional software development, seems
astonishing.
We in the open source community have learned that this rapid
evolutionary process produces better software than the traditional
closed model, in which only a very few programmers can see the source
and everybody else must blindly use an opaque block of bits.
Open Source Initiative exists to make this case to the commercial
world.
Open source software is an idea whose time has finally come. For
twenty years it has been building momentum in the technical cultures
that built the Internet and the World Wide Web. Now it's breaking out
into the commercial world, and that's changing all the rules. Are you
ready?
It's an important time for Open Source with many
governments and large organizations switching or seriously considering
switching to Open Source. The people at OSI are dedicated to making
Open Source successful more broadly and I'm honored and excited to be
working with them for this important cause.

Open-Source Mesh Group Releases
Software, Discusses Social Goals
Open-Source Mesh Group Releases
Software, Discusses Social Goals
04/28/2004 01:03 PMChampaign-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...

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

others:

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.
