Google Chrome's Kimono Opened--A Little

,----[ Quote ]
| Stephen Shankland from CNet has an interesting item up today about the very 
| first non-Google coder getting an invitation to add code directly to the open 
| source browser project. In a blog post, Evan Martin, a software engineer at 
| Google, nominates University of Warsaw computer science student Pawel Hajdan 
| Jr. to move from "contributor"--submitting patches and the like to the Chrome 
| team--to "committer," working directly on the browser's code. The nomination 
| provides a glimpse of how high-profile open source projects truly treat 
| openness.

OpenX's Open Source Ad Serving Showing Signs of Strength

,----[ Quote ]
| OpenX, the open source ad server for web publishers, is out with some very 
| strong statistics today.  We've written about the company before, and how it 
| lets you manage a mix of ads from multiple networks. While many have 
| questioned how the small  company can compete with Google Ad Manager, there 
| are some signs that it is doing an effective job. Many large sites, including 
| TechCrunch, use OpenX. Here are some thoughts on the company's results.

They go right at Google's cash cow.

Google Chrome on GNU/Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| I have been waiting to test Google Chrome on GNU/Linux from the moment I
| heard about its release. But the initial release only had a version for
| Windows. They promised to release versions for Mac OS X and GNU/Linux as soon
| as they port the code. I tried to compile the code following the instructions
| on the wiki, but all I got was a binary that would run all the unit tests.

playing with chrome on linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Soon after they announced, I'd been hoping to take Google Chrome for a test
| drive. The comic book laid out a lot of interesting things, my favorite being
| the discussion of separate processes leading to detachable (and "retachable")
| browser tabs, something I have been touting for years as a long term Galeon
| user. My big problem though? I run Linux, and Google has so far left Linux
| support on the back burner. Still, I figured that someone had probably made a
| Linux build available by now, so inspired by John McCain's speech on TV
| tonight, I set about seeing if I could get it set up.

A Linux users' guide to Google Chrome

,----[ Quote ]
| Today, I’ll show you how to obtain and build the Linux source. A heads up:
| you won’t be Chroming after this, Google haven’t finished porting it to Linux
| and I’m certainly not smarter than the Google engineers and have no magic
| fix.

Chromium - Open Source Chrome

,----[ Quote ]
| As you might have noticed from our Google Chrome coverage, we're pretty
| excited about the potential -- even if it hasn't lived up to everyone's
| expectations. Much of that potential is tied-up in the architecture used to
| create Chome. As Google continued to reiterate during yesterday's webcast,
| Chrome is open source.
