Open Source's Moment is Now
,----[ Quote ]
| here are number of factors coming together that lead me to believe that open
| source's moment is right now, today, this year. Open source already runs so
| many things and just last week as Barack Obama was elected the 44th president
| of the United States, he asked Scott McNealy of Sun to prepare a report on
| open source technologies as a first step toward exploring the use of open
| source in government.
|
| When you combine this with the current economic crisis, the maturation of
| open source products in general, and a willingness to explore FOSS (free and
| open source software) as a reasonable alternative, these factors are coming
| together at this one moment in time and it's time for Open Source to step up.

Not Linux' Quietest Couple of Weeks
,----[ Quote ]
| The US has a new president this week (perhaps you heard), though still faces
| some serious economic challenges. Those challenges seem to have caught up
| with a major Linux competitor, as Microsoft announced an immediate layoff of
| 1,400 employees and up to 5,000 total in the weeks ahead.
|
| In an interview with LinuxDevices, LF Executive Director Jim Zemlin made note
| of the fact that Microsoft admitted it had underestimated the size of the
| netbooks market: "It's a combination of Linux, missteps by Microsoft, and not
| enabling Vista for a low-power, long battery-life device."
|
| Definitely not a slow couple of weeks. Looking forward to next week, that's
| for sure.
