Mullenweg: Open Source Trumps The Cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| Using cloud storage from Amazon has helped Automattic scale its fast-growing
| Wordpress.com blog hosting service. But Wordpress founding developer Matt
| Mullenweg said he’d much prefer to run an optimized open source solution on
| leased servers. While cloud computing is the hot buzzword, Mullenweg said
| open source is the key to competing in the new digital economy.

Open Source Is Not the Same As An Open Service
,----[ Quote ]
| Companies need the freedom to get at their data, to choose hosted or in-house
| options and more. All this can be found amongst open source solutions - but
| choose carefully, says Jason Brooks

Will Google Wave revolutionise free software collaboration?
,----[ Quote ]
| If you haven’t heard yet, Google have released a developer preview of their
| new social networking and collaboration tool - Wave. What impact might this
| have on free software users and developers?
|
| Wave is what Google call a “a new tool for communication and collaboration on
| the web”. Think of it as a cross between e-mail, social networking, IM, IRC
| and Twitter. It not only gives (or to be fair will give) ways to communicate
| but gives instant feedback to other participants. Using the basis of a wave
| as a conversation, it allows others in your conversation to see what you are
| writing in real-time, as you write it. No more having to wait while your IM
| buddy finishes her message. Wave also allows — in the same tool — bulletin
| board-style messaging for participants to follow when they log back in. It
| has nice features which permit you to respond to different parts of a message
| in-line and in-context. New participants can be brought in at any time and
| not only get the full history of the “wave” but can “playback” the wave as it
| happened, seeing who wrote what when and in chronological order.
