Interview: Mozilla Bespin's Joe Walker
,----[ Quote ]
| TR: What timeframe are you looking at for 1.0?
|
| JW: I have no idea - we're just planning 0.3 at the moment! We're saying to
| ourselves: what do we want to get done this year? Collaboration features are
| one of those, and the biggest thing we're working on is working with other
| people - a bunch of people want to use Bespin in various different projects.
| Top priority at the moment is making all that kind of stuff work.

Opera: Single-minded about widget development
,----[ Quote ]
| Jon von Tetzchner is the chief executive of the Norwegian browser company
| Opera. Although Opera first became known for its desktop product, the company
| has also become well known for its Opera Mini handset-based web browser.
|
| Opera has become heavily involved in the development of standards for widgets
| — the lightweight, web-based applications that are starting to become
| prevalent on new handsets. It has also been working hard on the development
| of HTML 5, which has more built-in rich media functionality than the current
| version of the web standard.

Opera CEO says hopes firm stays independent
,----[ Quote ]
| Focus of the wireless industry has shifted to software development and
| Internet access after Apple and Google entered the industry -- leading to
| analysts speculating that Opera was a potential takeover target.
|
| When asked whether he sees Opera as an independent company in five years'
| time, he said: "Hopefully. If we would be bought by someone it would probably
| very much limit our ability to play the role that we play."

Leading Voices - Michael Tiemann, Vice President of Open Source Affairs at Red
Hat
,----[ Quote ]
| This is Michael Tiemann, I am President of the Open Source Initiative and
| Vice President of Open Source Affairs at Red Hat.
|
| The IT industry is headed for its own crisis, with plenty of red flags
| visible if you bother to look, as well as a clear and simple plan to avert
| the hard landing. But, in an industry famously long on ego and short on
| humility, can we really hope for a change before these CEOs destroy their
| companies and the assets of their customers?
|
| [...]
|
| The greatest objection raised by software industry participants about Open
| Source software is that if users are free to read, modify, and share
| software, then it's not possible to extract monopoly rents. Based on what we
| have seen from the monopoly these past 10 years, I'm not really sure that is
| such a problem.
