Critics of open source software have argued that, from an economic standpoint, "giving the product away" makes no sense. As a new business model, open source has been the victim of many misconceptions and mischaracterizations: that it's the equivalent of communism, that's it's like a virus, and that it's economically dangerous to society, for example. In such a hostile atmosphere, it's not easy to objectively assess a new paradigm that differs greatly from the status quo. However, though a comparable model may not exist in the IT sector, a parallel working model for open source already exists in at least one other field, biomedical research, and this model has been proven to be of great benefit to society.

This is the third Ted inspired post.....

Schtoom is a open source VoIP project in Python.  This could be huge!

Shtoom

Shtoom is a open-source, cross-platform VoIP softphone, implemented in Python. As well as the basic phone, the package also includes a number of other applications -

• shtoom - the end-user phone
• shtam - a simple answering machine/voicemail application
• shmessage - an announcement server

Shtoom should work on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. It ships with user interfaces for Qt/KDE, Gtk/GNOME, Tk and a command line. There will hopefully be native user interfaces for Windows and the Mac soon, until then, the Tk interface works on those platforms.

Shtoom has audio support on Linux using OSS or ALSA, and on all other platforms using the PortAudio library. Native sound drivers for Mac/Windows are planned (the Mac interface should be done soon -- volunteers to help with an interface from Python to Windows DirectSound libraries are more than welcome!)

Shtoom requires Python 2.3.3 and Twisted 1.1.1 or greater.

Availability:

Shtoom 0.2 is now available. You can get it from the Sourceforge Fil es page. Or, for the brave, you can get source via subversion. Anonymous checkouts should get svn://divmod.org/svn/S htoom/trunk/shtoom, while folks with developer access should use svn+ssh://divmod.o rg/svn/Shtoom/trunk/shtoom.

The Jukebox Mode of Innovation: a Model of Commercial Open Source Development by Joachim Henkel
http://opensource.m it.edu/papers/henkel.pdf

Abstract by author:
In this paper, I explore the circumstances under which innovation processes without secrecy or intellectual property protection are viable, and where free revealing of innovations is a profit-maximizing strategy. Motivated by an empirical study of embedded Linux, I develop a duopoly model of quality competition. Firms require two complementary technologies as inputs, but differ with respect to the relative importance of these technologies. I find that a regime with compulsory revealing can lead to higher product qualities and higher profits than a proprietary regime. When the decision to reveal is endogenized, equilibria with voluntary revealing arise, again superior to the proprietary outcome.

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). The consensus seems to be that EVDB will be a Web-2.0-style, Wiki-style, RSS-friendly, Flickr-and-del.icio.us-like thingy. Sounds promising! I'll certainly check it out when it's public. ...
