Business. 01/05/2005 03:13 AM
Small Businesses who want enterprise software such as CRM (Customer Relationship Management), Project Management, and eLearning have typically been ignored by the software industry. Change is coming, however, and it may be the software makers themselves who end up feeling left out. With abundant and cheap computing power and new feature-rich Open Source Business applications, small businesses can now bypass commercial software altogether. With Managed Application Service providers filling the technological gap, small businesses can digitize key parts of their operations without making large investments in consultants, hardware, or software licensing.

Microsoft's new policy for licensing its patents has supporters of open-source software worried that the company will use a broken government system for protecting intellectual property to beat back gains Linux and other competing software have made in the marketplace. The Redmond, Wash., software maker, which holds about 4,500 patents covering a broad spectrum of technology affecting desktops, servers, and more, said in December that it would begin licensing patents to meet requests from customers, partners, and regulators.

source message gains subtlety 04/07/2005 05:06 AM
VANCOUVER, B.C. -- Barnaby Jeans, an IT Pro Advisor at Microsoft Canada, has a new approach to Microsoft advocacy. In the past, Microsoft executives have been reported as describing GNU/Linux as a cancer or communism. Other reports include warnings that corporate users risk being sued, and that the "Pac-Man-like nature" of its licenses may make interoperability between applications harder. The Get the Facts Web site continues these direct attacks, although with greater detail. However, Jeans has a subtler message for corporate customers. In fact, his message is less in what he says than how he says it.

VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) is being heavily hyped these days.  Systems come in various sizes, supporting anywhere from 25 to 1,200 users across multiple locations, time zones, and continents, and open source products are available across the spectrum. The reason for adopting VoIP is simple: the cost savings involved with putting voice and data on the same network. The argument for open source in VoIP is similarly simple: solutions that make use of open source software are less expensive than traditional PBX or Centrex systems and proprietary VoIP solutions.

IBM Joins the Open Hardware Movement

IBM Joins the Open Hardware Movement 04/11/2005 03:29 PM
Having had great success (and profit) so far from their acceptance of Free Software, IBM appears to be moving toward Open Hardware as well. A recent EE Times article describes a talk given by Juan-Antonio Carballo of IBM's venture capital group. He says open source hardware models are part of a wave of revolution coming to hardware world. IBM, of course, points to their Power.org as an example but most people will likely recognize better known open hardware organizations such as Open Collector, Open Cores, and Free Model Foundry, who've been doing Open Hardware for a long time. The funny thing is, it was just a few years ago that Jim Turley of Embedded Systems Magazine told us that the Open Hardware Movement was doomed to fail.

Microsoft's code was put there under the terms of the Common Public License, which allows modification, addition, redistribution - in short, it allows most of the rights and privileges that we associate with open source software.

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).
