A couple of disclosures







A couple of disclosures

A couple of disclosures 04/09/2004 03:54 PM

I need to make a couple of disclosures, but I want to be as sensitive as I can. I don't want to be part of supposedly open processes that only include a small number of people. They aren't open, you could say say they're "as open as possible," to be generous; or "exclusive," to be really accurate.

Anyway, I've had several email exchanges and one conference call about formalizing the specification for RSS with a standards organization. My position in these private communications is exactly stated in the Roadmap section of the RSS 2.0 spec. I'm basically explaining how it would apply to a formalization process, which I would support. I would not agree to be the chair of a working group, probably even wouldn't make sense for me to be a member of the group. That's all that's happened so far.

Second, I've been helping the evangelists at Microsoft, Lenn Pryor, Jeff Sandquist, Robert Scoble, in formulating a new approach to working with developers. I plan to be open about this too, because my goal here is to help bootstrap a two-party system, and when that's working, a three-party system, and so on. I think Microsoft can exist very well in that kind of environment, but it's going to be a tough thing to pull off, because they're so large, and they're basically a gravity well, largely influenced by their own internal conversation, that it's hard for an average MS person to understand why people outside MS even bother to exist.

And now with so many of them having weblogs, it's going to be hard to keep MS people frrom interfering. But that was the problem with Apple, and Netscape and now Google; and it will be a problem in the tech industry until it's solved. How can an organization be clued in, and still work with outsiders. This could be something David Weinberger looks into at the sessio n he's leading at BloggerCon.

Computer security has been in the news again a lot recently. It never seems to go away, but the flow of articles rises and falls over time. One of the big issues, though, is on the disclosure of information concerning security issues. While many people think there needs to be more disclosure, the fear is that the information flow would be overwhelming, and the opposite of the intended effect would occur. Instead of getting information out quickly, it would simply hide the important security disclosures amongst all the muck. At a panel discussion recently, though, someone suggested that security disclosures could be ranked on an eBay-style feedback system, to help let the overall community separate the important disclosures from the junk (and marketing-disguised-as-a-security-alert). Of course, lots of communities have tried to build up trust metrics based on eBay's, and it's not always easy to get it working well. It really requires community commitment, and that can be difficult to get.

I recently came across this page (it's a couple years old) detailing an uncommon but interesting migration, from BeOS to OS X.

Okay, so I indulged in a little Schadenfreude against the holy Mac universe from time to time, pissing off thousands. I'm not proud. But neither am I a bad person. I've just always wanted the most from my computer, and it always seemed like the Mac offered very little of the best, and a whole lot of the worst. But recently I've seen the light, and am here to make amends for my blasphemy. I hereby publicly apologize for my past life as a Mac-hater. Not only that, but thanks to OS X, I'm now a bona fide Mac OS lover.
