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

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?

Open source cracks publishing wide open 06/17/2004 11:24 AM
Once upon a time, publishing was the domain of large corporations. Then came desktop publishing and the tools to produce a book shrank from the cost of an aircraft carrier to the price tag of a PT boat. Now, small publishers on the bleeding edge of technology are fomenting a revolution that may change the publishing market forever. Open source publishing tools, long derided as not being ready for battle, are proving themselves in the trenches of small publishing.

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. ...

Money-makers like the company's Windows operating system and Office productivity suite aren't on the table -- or anywhere near it. But the company has so far released two software-development tools to the open-source community, and it wants to continue the practice, a Microsoft platform manager told an industry group this week.

Open Source UIs

Open Source UIs 03/06/2004 01:49 AM
Improving Open Source UI.

My response to Eric Raymond's rant on the poor quality of open source UI is: No Kidding, Sherlock.  It shouldn't surprise anyone that open source UI is crappy and I am surprised that it took Eric this long to notice the problem.  As to why, it's because:

• open source developers have little interest nor incentive to do it right.
• most software developers lack the knowledge and experience to design good UIs.
• UI design is hard and insanely tedious, even for the professionals.

Frankly, I don't think it is realistic to expect open source developers to build good UIs.  Instead, open source software should be designed to make it easier for others to change or replace the UI without understanding the code underneath.  Let a thousand UIs bloom and may the best one win.  In other words, leverage evolution in pursuit of good UIs.

[Don Park's Daily Habit]

In 1999 - when Dave Winer developed XML-RPC - we were the first company to build a client side, browser based interface to it.  We did a 'broadband' version of Dave's 'Mail to the Future' service.

That mini-project proved that it was possible to de-couple the front-end UI from the backend.

Here's a screen from that interface.  We spent all of 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 - waiting for the world to catch up with us.  Now it looks like that time has come.

All I can say to Don Park is "you just wait - dude".  Wait till you meet Jim Collins.
