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).

Microsoft cuts OneNote price
Microsoft cuts OneNote price
08/05/2004 10:18 AMMicrosoft this week chopped the price of its
OneNote note-taking
application. The software, one of several new applications
released last year under the Office umbrella, will now sell for $100,
half the original price. Microsoft had provided widespread $100
rebates, however.
OneNote is a collection of tools for organizing information from
various sources. The application has been targeted mainly at college
students and owners of devices based on Microsoft's Tablet PC format,
which can utilize OneNote's built-in handwriting recognition.

Bill Gates Claims Open Source Kills Jobs
Bill Gates Claims Open Source Kills Jobs
07/12/2004 07:35 PMIn another futile attempt to sway companies away from Open Source
software, Gates proclaims that Open Source software costs jobs.
Understand that this is a random statement with no facts or figures to
back up his claim, Mr. Gates apparently figures that we will simply
take his word for it.
Well let’s also consider this, Mr. Gates. There are a number of
companies that are not only growing, but also turning a profit
utilizing their own branded version of Open Source software. Open does
not mean free, it means it is open to be reviewed, revised, and then
redistributed as the developer see fit within the constraints of the
GPL. Competition is a scary thing, huh, Bill? ;o)

A model for open source software
development
A model for open source software
development
05/25/2004 11:36 AMCritics 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.
