	NewsForge \| Bruce Perens on new job at SourceLabs
		Perens describes his mission at SourceLabs as being "to build bridges between enterprise IT and the open source community."

		Perens: We knew that the EU settlement would work out this way when most of the complainants dropped out, and this is going back more than six months.
		Well anyway good luck to you bruce, there are certainly are a lot of better people to your post, however the fact that most of these unix guys are much cheaper than us windows guys may have been a deciding factor.

	NewsForge \| Bruce Perens expounds 'Open Source State of the Union'
		At LinuxWorld in New York, Perens spent more than 30 minutes telling a small room full of about two dozen members of the press what he thought was happening in the Linux world.
		Perens outlined his vision for UserLinux, an effort to decouple Linux from large, highly capitalized companies, aimed at letting enterprises add seats without an incremental cost.
		Perens still intends to include only GNOME as a window manager in UserLinux, maintaining that it's confusing for users to have two window managers, and a burden to support departments.

		Bruce Perens, the primary author of the Open Source Definition, a founder of Software in the Public Interest, will turn his attention next week to the topic of Open Source security during a talk at Open Source Events.
		Perens: It is easy to demonstrate in any company that accounts their dollars spent that most of the software is things that are not specific to that company and do not make their company look better than the company down the street.
		Perens: I think its important to realize there are many, many jobs for programmers and most of the jobs for programmers are not with companies that sell software as their major product.

		Perens said that he thought it likely that many of the client pieces will be applicable to servers and encoders as well, although RealNetworks is not placing their server and "encoder engine" in Open Source.
		Perens told us that the RealNetworks "client engine", the code that lives in the desktop player of browser-plug in and that drives the client half of their codec, will be available under a license derived from the Apple Public Source License, but with goals much closer to the GNU General Public License.

	Open-Source Government / Free-software guru Bruce Perens has a new information-technology solution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Perens says one of the key areas that must be protected revolves around software interoperability.
		The main argument the ambassador made, and the one that seems to outrage critics such as Perens the most, is that governments should not be locked in to any one IT purchasing scheme.
		Perens, however, points out what would really happen under such an arrangement: Once a software company encoded government data in a proprietary format, any other suppliers interested in using or accessing that data, including open-source vendors, would have to use the same proprietary technologies, which they would also have to pay for.

		I mentioned the possibility of tapping Bruce as a board member several times in the past when we were initially appointing people to the board, but came to agree with others that it might not be the best idea.
		The concern was that Bruce had a history of resigning from organizations (often in a huff), and developing personality conflicts which could be a problem.
		Before that, he was Debian project leader and often plunged Debian into turmoil by very publically threatening to resign several times before moving on (and if I recall correctly, he actually resigned once or twice, later changing his mind and withdrawing the resignation).
