Wed, 02 Jul 2008 17:53:21 +0000: Nokia’s open source Symbian is no match or threat to Linux mobile, Linux Foundation claims

Nokia’s plan to open source the Symbian mobile OS platform is no threat to mobile Linux, maintains the executive director of the Linux Foundation. Jim Zemlin maintains that mobile Linux will continue to evolve and flourish in spite of Nokia’s plans and the formation of the Symbian Foundation, whose membership includes several members of LiMO including [...]


Wed, 02 Jul 2008 15:25:59 +0000: Martha Stewart’s parlor seeks open source writer-flies

Building an open source bridge between the great writers and the wannabes, like me. What a clever idea. But that company name is faintly familiar, Martha Stewart!


Wed, 02 Jul 2008 12:55:20 +0000: Linspire sinks under Xandros waves

Xandros scooped up Linspire today.


Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:57:15 +0000: Why Microsoft might win in mobile

Suffice it to say no one has a mobile Internet interface that can really go toe-to-toe with the iPhone. We're all looking for a breakthrough on interfaces.


Mon, 30 Jun 2008 14:19:18 +0000: What your own open source census can get you

Open source does not do its best work in the dark corners, but in the light of day. That's where you'll realize the value, when your own people can share knowledge, and you get to share with the wider world.


Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:06:34 +0000: Is there really a market for an open source router?

MyOpenRouter offers developers a comprehensive user guide, applications forums and downloads. Best of all this isn't a stinky would-not-sell-otherwise router. It's got an internal diversity antenna to improve performance, and supports WPS.


Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:30:29 +0000: Open-Xchange releases preview of next groupware server for Web 2.0 era

Open-Xchange has released a preview version of its next generation open source collaboration server designed for the Web 2.0 era. Open-Xchange Server Edition, which will succeed Open-Xchange 6 and Open-Xchange Express Edition, features an Ajax-based, customizable user interface for managing emails, contacts, task and document sharing, new mashup capabilites provided by Netvibes Universal  Widget API and support [...]


Fri, 27 Jun 2008 14:27:54 +0000: The French way to open source

What government can best provide to open source is education, encouragement and incentive. True broadband into every classroom, the best possible programmer training, a few contracts, a competitive market, and an attaboy are all I'd recommend.


Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:44:37 +0000: The heart of open source is trust

Trust is the heart of open source. At its most basic vendors trust that those who download their software will contribute back to it, either financially or in some other way. Those who download trust they're not just getting malware.


Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:51:38 +0000: Time for open source to build a Code Recycling Center

What I'd like to see is a Code Recycling Center. Corporate development staffs could unload their open source code, in whatever condition it may be in, secure in the knowledge the right home will be found for it.
