Open source was good enough, will non-open source be open enough?
,----[ Quote ]
| There was a time years ago when open source
| software in the enterprise often had to be
| just âgood enough.â Over time, use and
| broader adoption, open source software has
| now reached the point that it must often be
| âas good or betterâ than proprietary
| alternatives, now typically getting equal
| consideration from customers and users.

A FOSS Perspective On Richard Schaefferâs Three Tactics For Computer Security
,----[ Quote ]
| Taking Schaefferâs three tactics as our
| lead, here is a FOSS perspective on these
| protection mechanisms:
|
| Best practices implies community effort:
| discussing, sharing and collectively
| building understanding and techniques for
| managing systems and their software
| components. FOSS (Free and Open Source
| Software) communities develop, discuss and
| share these best practices in their project
| support and development forums. Debianâs
| package management system implements some
| of these best practices in the operating
| system itself thereby allowing users who do
| not participate in the development and
| support communities to realize the benefits
| of best practices without understanding or
| even knowing that they exist. This is one
| of the important benefits of policy- and
| package-based operating systems like Debian
| and Ubuntu.

Enterprise Search Reaches Open Source Maturation Point
,----[ Quote ]
| We're on the cusp of yet another evolution in maturation of open source with
| the advent of open source search engine technology. Over the past few years
| we've seen the Apache Lucerne and Solr projects grow from being interesting
| computer science projects to mission-critical tools that over 4,000 companies
| now use. As a result, it was only a matter of time before start-up companies
| such as Lucid Imagination started to form with the goal of making it easier
| to bring open source search engine technology into the enterprise.
