Red Hat frees Fedora project

Red Hat frees Fedora project 06/05/2005 11:36 PM
Mark Webbink, deputy general counsel for Red Hat, announced in his keynote address this morning at the Red Hat Summit that Red Hat is freeing the Fedora project from its direct control. Red Hat has created the Fedora Foundation -- to be run by an independent board of directors -- which will direct and control the project from now on. Webbink said Red Hat made this move because it listened to the Fedora community when it said it would be more comfortable about the project if it were not directly owned by a commercial firm.

Red Hat frees Wide Open 05/16/2004 12:24 PM
For all of the FUD that some are eager to spread about Free Software and Open Source, the real truth is that the purveyors of such tripe are truly fearful that you might learn the simple object lesson: a long and happy life is filled with learning. They want you to believe that you are too ignorant to understand new ideas, and that your capacity for learning has eluded you. They need you to believe that you are too lazy to make an effort to think for yourself. Don't buy that idea, for it is nothing more than an abdication of your obligations. Try to learn something new every day, no matter how small, for it will sharpen your mind and rejuvenate your spirit.

Are Speakerphone Mobile Calls Less
Annoying Than Regular Calls?

Are Speakerphone Mobile Calls Less
Annoying Than Regular Calls? 04/21/2004 03:53 PM
Last week we noted a new study saying that people get annoyed with others talking on mobile phones because they only hear one half of the conversation. At the time, I wrote that this made sense as periods of silence followed by talking are a lot more jarring to the passive listener. However, this BBC report claims that the reason for the annoyance is that it shows that we're more curious about what the other party is saying. I'm not sure I buy that. It seems much more likely that it's the variability in noise, from silent to noisy rather than any form of curiosity. When the conversation is at a constant hum (even when loud), it's much easier to tune it out. Still, the findings do go against the opinion many people have expressed that things like "push-to-talk" where the phone usually acts as a speaker phone would be more annoying since we get to hear both sides of the conversation. In fact, the researchers behind the study are even suggesting that mobile phone makers may want to explore adding speaker phones to more phones to make them less annoying. Of course, the study only set up two conditions: a conversation on a mobile phone and a face-to-face conversation. They didn't test the speaker phone situation to see how annoying that was. It's possible that the annoyance factor comes from the inability to make use of body language to express concepts as well, leading to a different tone of voice.

IBM Frees Cloudscape Into The Open
Source Skies... 08/03/2004 01:43 AM
There are plenty of sites that cover various "open source" news stories that we usually avoid around here, but it's worth noting that IBM has decided to release the source code for the Cloudscape Java database technology that they own. Obviously there are already some very popular open source databases out there, but the fact that IBM is donating a fairly large product into the open source world shows that they seem to understand at least some of the benefits of open source, while other companies still continue to insist there's something evil about open source technologies. Recognizing that (a) the product isn't central to their strategy and (b) more active development around it may drive more demand for their own Websphere offering, it makes perfect sense to open source Cloudscape (now to be known as Derby). It would be nice if more companies began to realize that not everything they've worked on needs to be sold. If it can be used as a form of a promotion that drives more sales for other products, that can often be a very intelligent strategy.
