What Iâve been doing: New Opportunities.
,----[ Quote ]
| And finally there is the issue of promoting
| commercial activity around a Free Software
| technology segment based on an equal footing
| where all companies have the same starting
| position and none is more equal than others.
| This is something that Iâve been thinking of
| for quite some time now, starting from some
| initial thoughts in 1999 towards the idea of
| the GNU Business Network, and so were many
| others such as Simon Phipps who recently
| brought this back on the agenda.
|
| So when I heard of the idea of combining all
| these aspects into a new kind of Free
| Software organization, I was intrigued, then
| curious, and quickly convinced to help bring
| this about. What followed were several weeks
| of rather frantic but highly rewarding
| activity.
|
| The results of this work have just become
| visible with the re-launched web site of the
| Open Database Alliance, which has been
| incorporated as an association under Swiss
| law and also just launched its Weblog and
| Identi.ca channels.

Windows 7 to hit consumers with known security problem

| FSFE: Microsoft's neglect highlights value
| of Free Software
|
| Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows
| 7, is currently shipping with a potentially
| serious defect. Ahead of the product's
| global launch on Thursday, Germany's federal
| IT security agency (BSI) has issued a
| warning [1] about a high-risk vulnerability
| in the SMB2 protocol. This can be exploited
| over the network to shut down a computer
| with a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.

Microsoft antitrust case: FSFE offers analysis to European Commission
,----[ Quote ]
| For desktop applications, FSFE argues that the software
| monopolist must release interoperability information in
| such a way that it can be used in Free Software. The
| company must also make a binding commitment not to
| enforce its patents against Free Software. That would
| prevent Microsoft from using Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt
| (FUD) to keep rivals from making use of the information.
