Happy 20th Birthday, Computer Viruses

Happy 20th Birthday, Computer Viruses 11/10/2003 11:02 PM
The BBC is reporting that this week is the 20th anniversary of the first computer virus being created. Apparently, others had discussed such a program, but no one had actually written a virus until 1983 by a PhD. student at USC. The virus was just a demonstration of how a virus might work on Vax systems. Apparently, folks who saw the student's presentation were so angered by it that they told him to stop running such tests. Of course, banning something often seems to make it more likely to spread - and (as you're probably aware), now we have viruses everywhere.

A Happy 20th Birthday to Microsoft Word
and Excel for Mac 01/08/2004 07:39 PM
Twenty years later, Microsoft continues to deliver on Gates' promise. At Macworld Conference and Expo 2004 in San Francisco this week, Microsoft announced plans to release Office 2004 for Mac and Virtual PC for Mac Version 7 in the first half of 2004. These new releases, and other products Microsoft makes for the Mac, are developed by an oasis of Mac-only developers in an otherwise Windows world at Microsoft: the Macintosh Business Unit (Mac BU). The Mac BU has made its mark in the industry, and at Microsoft, in large part by transforming four applications -- Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Entourage -- into the most popular productivity suite for the Mac platform.

Happy Birthday, Free Culture Movement
(finally)

Happy Birthday, Free Culture Movement
(finally) 06/22/2005 02:31 AM
So as reported about two months ago, the Free Culture Movement turned one in April. I promised a present. At the time, we were organizing a call in recording of "Happy Birthday," from some of the leaders of the free world. Well, finally, after some struggle clearing rights, and after lots of nitpicking on my part, we've released the song. Check out the @page at Creative Commons, donate something in support, and download the song. Sorry for the delay.

Mobilization of Software Developers: The Free Software Movement by Margret S. Elliott and Walter Scacchi
http://ope nsource.mit.edu/papers/elliottscacchi2.pdf

Abstract by Author:
Free/open source software (F/OSS) development projects are growing at a rapid rate. Globally dispersed virtual communities with large groups of software developers contribute time and effort often without pay. One force behind this phenomenon is the Free Software Movement (FSM), a 20 year-old social movement whose purpose is to promote the use of free software instead of proprietary software. We show how the ideology of the FSM influences software development work practices in F/OSS communities and how an occupational community of F/OSS developers has emerged from this movement. We present results from an empirical study of a F/OSS development community, GNUenterprise (GNUe) whose purpose is to build an Enterprise Resource Planning system. We show how the beliefs in freedom and freedom of choice, and the values of cooperative work and community building are manifested in the GNUe norms of informal self-management, immediate acceptance of fellow contributors, and open disclosure.

PHP: Free Software on Free Tools

PHP: Free Software on Free Tools 05/17/2004 10:25 AM

Open Source: Open Source Scripting Made Easy: This is an article about PHP scripting tools that makes an important point:

Commercial scripting languages have drawn success from powerful and widely used development tools: ASP has Visual Studio, ColdFusion has Macromedia's Dreamweaver, and JSP has a variety of tools from commercial sources such as Borland and open source projects such as Eclipse and NetBeans. PHP's enormous success, however, is not tied to specific tools.

Some friends of mine have been working with Microsoft's .Net platform. They tell me it's amazing ("fan-friggin'-tastic," one of them called it). This is great, but I guess I don't like anything where the barrier to entry is so high — first you have to have a Windows server, then you have to have the Windows dev environment.

I code PHP in EditPlus, which cost me all of $30, and that was an optional purchase because there are so many other free alternatives. Maybe I'm just a snob. Via PHP|Architect.

One thing I try to drive home when speaking or giving an interview about Linux and open source software is the concept that, unlike commercial software, open source doesn't need more people to use it. You can take your time and use what you want when you want.

The UK Parliamentary Office on Science and Technology is preparing a POST note on 'Open Source'. (No, I didn't know what a POST note is exactly either, but check it out here.) The author is looking for helpful comments. I've created a temporary email address for David Berry. You can send him comments at that address for a week.
