UAB alum, software entrepreneur returns to Birmingham to speak at commencement

,----[ Quote ]
| She founded Scalix Corp., a maker of open source corporate e-mail software, 
| in Palo Alto, Calif., in June 2002. Open source software is available to 
| everyone for use free of charge for modifying.  
| 
| "One of the areas where open source has thrived and grown the most is in 
| academic environments and research. It's a way for researchers to share 
| knowledge and collaborate with others," she said.  
| 
| For UAB researchers, she said, open source generates that potential - a way 
| of connecting with people doing that same research in other parts of the 
| world.

Economic downturn = Financial upturn for GroundWork and open source

,----[ Quote ]
| It's a great time to be in open source. When I see people straining to sell 
| and buy homes, I can smell the recession. But when I go to work selling 
| open-source solutions, I can taste prosperity. A downturn separates the wheat 
| from the chaff. Here's hoping for even more open-source "wheat."
