I (Sean) have been hired by Google, moved to Seattle, and have been working on the Google Talk team for about a month and a half. Currently, I'm working on making it as easy as possible for other clients to use Google Talk's voice features. gaim.sourceforge.net   (1073 words)

Open Source But he’ll take a break from his book to talk with us on Open Source on Monday, and to speak at John Hancock Hall in Boston on Sunday, February 12. Open Source (sm) is a production of Open Source Media, Inc. Contents (c) 2005 Open Source Media, Inc. I hope you understand that I am not the type of person who accepts violence in order to get a message across, such as the burning buildings etc. This is why I joined the Auckland protests as they were peaceful. www.radioopensource.org   (3886 words)

Ted Leung on the air The last section of his talk was about the style of the open source community. I agree that open source governance is going to become a bigger issue in the future, and that lots of people who don't currently see the value of this will do so in the coming year.

Nikolai Bezroukov. Portraits of Open Source Pioneers. Ch.3 Prince Kropotkin of Software (Richard Stallman and War of Software Clones) If we talk about the projects that reached critical mass (let's say top 10% of open source projects"), here the picture is different and GPL is just one of the many licenses. The event that was used by Eric Raymond to publicize an Open Source movement as distinct from GNU -- the movement that offers a much friendlier face to the business world, than FSF with its Anarchist view of intellectual property. "GNU-style" software cloning involves the case when source code for the original software is not available and somebody wants to recreate the same software with source code available. www.softpanorama.org /People/Stallman/index.shtml   (3281 words)

Futurelooks Community Forums - [Slashdot] Open Source Journalism From the article: "When I'm asked about blogging's legacy, I talk about open source. Open source politics, open source activism, open source journalism -- the aggregation of thousands on behalf of a common cause." Relatedly, egoff writes "You might have seen some coverage of Jeff Gannon, a conservative reporter who lobbed softball questions during White House press briefings. The language of open source development is used throughout their description of the reporting process. www.futurelooks.com /forums/showthread.php?t=13028   (181 words)

AlterNet: The Rise of Open-Source Politics Applied to political organizing, open source would mean opening up participation in planning and implementation to the community, letting competing actors evaluate the value of your plans and actions, being able to shift resources away from bad plans and bad planners and toward better ones, and expecting more of participants in return. The term "open source" specifically refers to allowing any software developer to see the underlying source code of a program, so that anyone can analyze it and improve it; better code trumps bad code, and programmers who have proven their smarts have greater credibility and status. The new political technology works because it gives individuals a way to pool their time, attention and resources around causes they may hold in common — and to do it without needing to become a professional activist or wait for approval from any authority figure. canada.ratemyteachers.com /press/alternet/012005.htm   (181 words)

Open Source Politics: The Valerie Plame Affair: Whodunnit? And Why? All rights reserved to the individual contributors to Open Source Politics. In the two months since Robert Novak's infamous column, sourced to "two senior Administration officials", revealed the identity of a covert CIA officer in apparent retaliation for her husband's role in revealing the falsity of the Yellowcake Road story, not very much has happened, and the media silence has been deafening. And while Novak himself has a fairly clear professional obligation to protect his sources, the rules are much less clear as to the six journalists (including one each from the three TV networks) who were offered the poisoned bait but refused. www.ospolitics.org /blog/archives/2003/09/29/the_valeri.php   (181 words)

OpenP2P.com -- p2p development, open source development Next-Generation File Sharing with Social Networks At the recent O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference in San Diego, CA, Robert Kaye lead a talk on "Next-Generation File Sharing with Social Software." For those who were able to attend, this essay builds upon that session. Network Effects: Stan Liebowitz and the MP3 Debate Stan Liebowitz's study is indeed a thorough examination of the situation, perhaps more so than any other presently available. But despite the strength of his conclusions, when one examines the deep flaws in his logic, and the incomplete or biased nature of the evidence he presents, it is impossible to consider his study as admissible evidence in the trial of MP3 file sharing. www.openp2p.com   (1633 words)

Talk:Search engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The reason articles like open-source search engines or list of them keep redirected to here is there is no need to have a sparate article about open-source search engines yet. The Open/closed-source opposition is not important enough, from a neutral POV, to be presented in the introduction of this article on search engines. The Open Source/Free Software POV is quite visible. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:Search_engine   (1633 words)

OdNT - Open.NeurosTechnology.Com Neuros Technology Open Source Site This is where I really believe that "openness" is about more than releasing source code, it's about being transparent and just plain honest. For those of you that don't know him Chairman Gao is the head of the China firmware division based in Xiamen China, and will be the code maintainer and also the liason between the Open Source Community and the internal development team. It strikes me a funny particuliarly considering that it's fairly clear that TCPMP is the best portable media player software out there, it's basically the answer that most of the major manufacturers are reccomending, and it's open source. open.neurosaudio.com   (959 words)

ONLamp.com -- Perspectives on the Shared Source Initiative Microsoft began pushing the idea of "shared source" a few years ago as a way to talk about source code sharing exercises they continue to develop in the face of open source software practices. Most people imagine Shared Source as an avenue to open sourcing Microsoft's key product assets and are disappointed when they see restrictive licenses and difficult eligibility requirements. Moving along the spectrum to look at other Shared Source programs, there are more open licensing terms, easier eligibility, and more interest in taking code back into the project. www.onlamp.com /pub/a/onlamp/2005/03/24/shared_source.html   (2267 words)

Boston.com / Business / Technology / With open arms The open source operating system Linux, created by Linus Torvolds at Finland's University of Helsinki in 1991, was the ''kernal" of code at the heart of the GNU system that let all its applications talk to one another. At Novell, open source is now at the heart of a broad strategy that incorporates everything from moving all its technologies to Linux, to supporting GNOME, the graphical desktop environment that runs on Linux, to boosting the North American sales of SUSE, the German distributor that has its strongest market penetration in Europe. Boston area venture capital firms are jumping on the open source bandwagon, funding companies that are experimenting with new business models based on packaging, servicing, and supporting free computer software rather than the traditional software licensing model. www.boston.com /business/technology/articles/2004/04/07/with_open_arms   (2267 words)

James Strachan's Weblog It seems like many large corporations are figuring out their open source strategy; IBM bought GlueCode, BEA partnered with the Interface21 guys (congrats!), while Sun open sourced pretty much everything they've got. This was particularly good as we're close to our first release of our open source JBI container and component suite, ServiceMix. We've been working away over at codehaus for some time building an open source Apache Licensed JBI container and component suite called ServiceMix which you can drop into Spring or Geronimo, which should have its first release very soon. radio.weblogs.com /0112098   (2267 words)

Javalobby News - 2004/11/16 Since before JavaOne I’ve both asked and heard the question, “What can be done with an Open Source Java that cannot be done today?” Now, it seems that this question has been publicly asked, as Onno Kluyt, chairman of Sun’s JCP has just done in a recent article at MacWorld UK. Now that the JCP rules allow for an open source implementation of Java, it is clear that we will have an open source implementation, no matter what Sun thinks about it. Open Office cannot really have Java as a core component because we don't have an open source implementation. www.javalobby.org /nl/archive/jlnews_20041116o.html   (2835 words)

OpenOffice Finds Sweet Spot with Governments The Open Office software suite (properly referred to as Openoffice.org or OOo) is one of the better-known applications of the open source movement. Didio is quick to point out however that few organizations appear to look at the true total cost of ownership of open source solutions, specifically as it relates to indemnification (from the SCO Group lawsuit principally). Governments around the world appear to be taking an interest in Openoffice.org and open source software in general. www.internetnews.com /dev-news/article.php/3294431   (1205 words)

main OpenPBS and SGE are freely available open source applications and are the most popular options for cluster scheduling. This has the advantage that no additional routing is needed for the nodes to talk to arbitrary external data sources. About the time we were ready to give up on OpenPBS, Sun released SGE as open source. people.freebsd.org /~brooks/papers/bsdcon2003/fbsdcluster   (6550 words)

The Risks of Closed Source Computing In an open source world they can do far more than just talk - they have the same access to source code and rights to fix it as the large vendors. As an aside to the main discussion, one reason that the Beowulf clusters have been so dramatically successful is that it is a set of open source software that allows the replacement of proprietary closed mainframe hardware with standard PC components. There is also no comeback in a closed source environment. www.ibiblio.org /oswg/oswg-nightly/oswg/en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/alan-cox/risks/risks-closed-source/risks.html   (1212 words)

Dan's blog As an open source guy, I can't help looking at things and saying "hey, I bet you could do this as free software." And as mentioned elsewhere in my blog, I have this ongoing interest in building a web engine in perl. Sure, I could probably find a copy "somewhere" but I'm don't approve of pirating software, which is one of the reasons that I run open source software in the first place. All the perl code is just hack to make sure the module would talk to the database. www.risacher.org /blog   (1179 words)

Open Source Desktop Technology Formal USENIX talk on open source software development using the X Window System history that may be of interest. Open source printer drivers for almost all HP and Epson printers are available, with more spotty coverage for other vendors, and commercial support and more drivers available and tools from Easy Software Products, CUP's creator. This has meant that when open source systems are first turned on, and until and unless the users understand how to locate and install them or other fonts, we have had a major "out of the box" problem. freedesktop.org /%7Ejg/roadmap.html   (10174 words)
