Open Source CMS Drives Academic Initiatives in Cal State System
,----[ Quote ]
| In keeping with its mission to identify learning-related problems, and then
| apply technology to support effective instruction, CDL has added the WebGUI
| content management system to its stable of technology tools. Built to give
| average users the ability to build and maintain complex Web sites, WebGUI is
| modular, pluggable, platform-independent, and designed to keep the management
| of content in the hands of those who create content, rather than take up the
| time of busy IT staff.

Samba 4 beta offers platform choice to data centers
,----[ Quote ]
| Samba 4 is an ongoing major rewrite of the existing interface between Linux
| and Windows file servers. The goal of the four-year project, which is
| proceeding concurrently with a Samba 3 update, is to replicate the functions
| of Microsoft's Active Directory in a mixed environment (e.g., for Linux, Unix
| and Windows). Lead developer Andrew Bartlett, whose work is heavily
| underwritten by Raleigh, N.C.-based Red Hat Inc. was working on Samba 4,
| alpha 4, when we chatted a year ago.

Samba's Tridge clusters code and crowds
,----[ Quote ]
| Q: How much will the agreement result in the increased interoperability
| between Windows and Linux/Unix?
|
| tridge: For the sections of the protocols we already implement, Samba already
| has quite good interoperability. Where it will make more of a
| difference is allowing us to expand into new areas where we
| previously lacked features that Windows servers have. For example in
| the area of Active Directory replication, and remote indexing.

Interview with Carlos Piana
,----[ Quote ]
| The lawyer for Samba and the Free Software Foundation Europe explains the
| behind-the-scenes work behind last month's antitrust decision against
| Microsoft.
|
| [...]
|
| A quite spectacular defence was that about security. Basically it said that,
| unlike the Internet protocols, those keeping together a Microsoft work group
| network were so conceived that the all the servers acted as if they were a
| single distributed entity. In other words they were "tightly coupled",
| closely knitted together so that any intrusion from the outside, a drop-in
| replacement pretending to be a Microsoft Windows server could cause
| irreparable harm and all sort of nefarious problems. Besides, disclosing the
| specifications of their protocols would have required a hardening of the
| protocols, in order to make them resistant to malware attack or simply of
| badly designed third-party software which could have compromised the whole
| infrastructure.
