Open source evolution and moving past generic strategies

| Over the past two weeks or so I've participated in briefings with, but not
| exclusive to, the following companies: Concursive (formerly Centric CRM),
| Funambol and Nuxeo. In parallel, I've been preparing my predictions for the
| open source software marketplace in 2008 which has entailed analyzing
| industry-wide trends and maturity indicators. Doing so, has led me to the
| conclusion that there is a decided movement in the shift in the leadership
| landscape amongst commercial open source business models preparing to move
| into 2008.

Changing the rules of enterprise software

| Most software is written for use, not for sale. It's written by the
| enterprises that also buy a small fraction of their software from Oracle,
| IBM, etc. If these organizations can be helped to pool resources and solve
| problems collectively, they win, CSI wins, and the industry wins (because the
| code is open source).

AMD Catalyst 7.12 Linux Driver
,----[ Quote ]
| It's that time of the month again where we get to share with you all of the
| details on the latest ATI/AMD Linux driver release. This month, the ATI
| Catalyst 7.12 Linux driver (formally, what is known as fglrx 8.44) brings a
| host of new changes, mostly in the form of bug fixes. In total, there are
| just under a dozen noteworthy bug fixes in this release -- including
| addressing 3D acceleration issues on AGP graphics cards and the well-known
| OpenGL memory leak that was introduced with the new driver code-base. In
| addition, the FireGL graphics cards are now supported on this new driver
| code-base.
