Open Source Moves Beyond Software
,----[ Quote ]
| More interestingly though, recent effort has been made
| to use open source to address one of its inherent
| weaknesses. I've written before about how difficult it
| can be to spread the open source message due to limited
| resources. One Texas entrepreneur is challenging that
| idea though. Ken Starks, founder of the HeliOS project
| in Austin, Texas booked professional radio talent and
| produced a quality radio commercial, then put it on the
| air during a popular computer tech help show in the
| area.
|
| While so far there is no report of the success of the
|
| commercial, what interests me is that Ken also provides
| the audio files for the commercial, and allows them to
| be used free of charge. Open source ads about open
| source software. I think he might be onto something
| here.

Inside Wikimedia's Open-Source Strategic Planning
,----[ Quote ]
| Our early thinking is that the broad direction of
| Wikipedia should ultimately be owned and developed by
| the social movement that powers it. Over the next six
| months, a series of task forces comprised of community
| members and external advisors (to bring in new
| perspectives) will be analyzing, discussing,
| recommending action on a range of tough strategic
| issues and figuring out the roles, responsibilities and
| resources needed to achieve Wikimedia's vision. In
| fact, an open call for participation launched Monday,
| September 21, to attract volunteers. We will soon find
| out if there are volunteers inside and out of the
| community ready to roll up their sleeves.

Ellen Degeneres should go open source
,----[ Quote ]
| By the way, if Ellen Degeneres wants to respond in a
| reasonable and constructive way to the lawsuits over
| her use of song snippets to dance to, she could always
| start using Creative Commons-licensed music, with a
| nice plug for the open-hearted musicians making our
| lives more tuney.

Tux Takes To The Air

| It's simply news that Linux is now on the air. It will air

| having to remove our taglines.

| Yeah, that's me...Mr. Considerate.
