Is Open Source Now Getting More Unopen?
2009-07-30 09:45:00 Shockingly yes, if nothing else in the mobile world. Dr Andreas Constantinou’s research report on Mobile megatrends in 2009 points out that now open is the new closed. Let’s quickly look at how OSI has defined Open Source Open source is a development method for software that harnesses the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process. The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in. Hence, Open Source is basically an approach which let’s a vendor/developer benefit from the community effort and in-return makes sure the vendor contributes to the community in re-turn. Android, Sybmian and Limo are Open source, great!! So why are they closed? Look at theOpen Source Software definition, which includes: No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups - The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor...

Microsoft Enters The Open Source Arena
2009-07-22 07:33:00 Let me first tell you about the Open Source strategy of Microsoft. It might sound absurd but its true that Microsoft has an Open Source strategy Labs for their Consumers. The main cause of the formation of such a Lab was to make sure that their customers, who are struggling with running Open-Source software’s along with the Microsoft Software’s, could find solutions. Now, what Microsoft has really done that is making this story. Microsoft has unleashed 20,000 lines of Linux Code to the Linux Kernel Community and to my surprise under the GNU General Public License V2 (notably the most preferred license by the Linux Community). This is indeed the first time that they have ever released their own code under GPL. What will the code do? The code includes three Linux Drivers necessary to enhance the performance of the Linux Operating System when virtualized on Microsoft’s Hyper-V Server 2008 virtualization software. Inspite of over 1000 developers for the open Source Co...

Open Source vs. Proprietary - Who Are The Real Zealots?
2009-07-16 23:18:00 This post is actually about true zealots and asstroturfers, but to get to that point, I have to throw a boomerang around a couple of trees. The thread of this post is going to weave around like a Quentin Tarantino movie. Bear with me. I was really sickened the other day to see an investigative blogger whom I respect and admire get attacked so unfairly. I am speaking of Roy Schestowitz, of BoycottNovell fame. Far beyond the original purpose described by the URL, Roy has focused with laser-beam intensity on all of the dirty dealings of proprietary technology. I have often been amazed to check a Boycott Novell article and discover hard evidence, before my very eyes, of things I'd only half-guessed and suspected before. The attack was from Open Source to Go!, so it seems to be from a source within the community. Beside the point of who's right on that one, David Schlesinger, in the post on Open Source to Go!, uses the little spat as an example of zealotry. "Zealotry" is another one...

New open-source software permits faster desktop computer simulations of mol
2009-02-23 01:55:00 A snapshot from a molecular dynamic simulation of the folding of a mutant protein found in chicken intestines. New open-source software permits faster simulations of molecular motion on desktop computers.Whether vibrating in place or taking part in protein folding to ensure cells function properly, molecules are never still. Simulating molecular motions provides researchers with information critical to designing vaccines and helps them decipher the bases of certain diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, that result from molecular motion gone awry.In the past, researchers needed either supercomputers or large computer clusters to run simulations. Or they had to be content to run only a tiny fraction of the process on their desktop computers. But a new open-source software package developed at Stanford University is making it possible to do complex simulations of molecular motion on desktop computers at much faster speeds than has been previously possible."Simulations that u...

Be the Change - Tackling Open Source in Government
2008-09-16 16:01:00 At Quirk we have three types of individuals – the completely non-tech (Kelly), the medium tech (Darryn) and the super-hardcore-I-think-in-code- tech (Java Coders like Jean). So a little while back when Jean sent an email around the office about Aslam Rafee, Daniel Mashao and Helen King's formal complaint registration against the IEC for its “failure to provide information as required by the Bill of Rights”, there were a few blank faces around the office. But this definitely twanged something inside of me (medium tech) and might just have sent me into the crazy echelons of “I-think-in-code” geekiness. For those who are more non-tech, these three pretty much make up the who’s who of Open Source in South Africa: Aslam Rafee chairs the South African government’s Open Source working group. He is a complete Open advocate and has affected some amazing change in the roll-out of Open Source solutions in both government and educat...

Algunas aclaraciones sobre que significa este apoyo financiero, para aquellos que se sientan despitados con las notas periodisticas: Todos los sponsors platinum aportan la misma cantidad de dinero, al menos 100.000 dolares al año, y se sabe que hay al menos 3 patrocinadores en esta categoría: Google, Microsoft y Yahoo. Efectivamente, la licencia Apache, permite incorporar el código fuente dentro de un producto comercial cerrado sin necesidad de publicar los códigos fuente, un modelo que es visto con buenos ojos por los sectores más "conservadores" dentro de Microsoft. history.forward() El título de la nota de Ramji es muy claro: history.forward().

The Next Frontier for Open Source
2008-06-08 19:54:00 Open Source is still a disruptive idea. It has moved beyond that in server operating systems, of course, with Linux on 20% of servers shipped these days. That’s known as being “mainstream.” But the effects of open source development and business models continue to be heavily disruptive as they spread into new technology markets. Disruption often benefits consumers directly. Cell phones are the next device that will move to open standards. Whether the big providers like it or not.
