Open Source Choices
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source was Best Supporting Actor in
| the 2010 Intelligent Enterprise Editors'
| Choice Awards. It plays an important part
| -- in some cases, a star turn -- for four
| of The Dozen top-category winners and for
| eleven of the thirty-six Ones to Watch.
| Noting that the awards reflect both current
| impact and our expectations -- all forty-
| eight awardees, really, are "ones to watch"
| -- clearly, in our estimation, open source
| has reached a new level of enterprise
| importance and promise.
|
| [...]
|
| There's really nothing new in my points,
| just a reaffirmation and extension of
| common knowledge regarding the value open
| source. Intelligent Enterprise clearly sees
| open source as delivering ever increasing
| value for enterprise information management
| and applications. 2011 should be no
| exception.

Open source: dangerous to computing education?
,----[ Quote ]
| First, let's talk about breadth of
| opportunity. Mark seems to assume that
| every student developer has the opportunity
| to engage in commercial development. This
| is demonstrably untrue. It may be true that
| an elite school like Georgia Tech provides
| these kinds of opportunities to most of
| their conputing students -- but what about
| everywhere else? For that matter, what
| about the kids at Georgia Tech who, for
| whatever reason, don't make the cut? Unless
| you can guarantee 100% co-op or internship
| placement for every computing student on
| Earth (and let's be honest, we'll never get
| even close to that number), there will
| always be aspirant student developers who
| have no chance at all to see a commercial
| codebase, or to engage in Legitimate
| Peripheral Participation.

Recent:
10 important Linux developments everyone should know about
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux technology, development model, and
| community have all been game-changing
| influences on the IT industry, and all we can
| really do is stand back and look at it all,
| happy to have been along for the ride for
| developerWorks' first 10 years. The Linux zone
| team has put together this greatly abbreviated
| collection of things that stand out in our
| minds as having rocked the world of Linux in a
| significant way.
|
| Much too much has happened with Linux in the
| last 10 years to do anything like a complete
| job of listing the important events and
| technological advances surrounding this
| operating system. But nevertheless, in
| celebration of our 10th birthday, the Linux
| zone team looks back and presents to you some
| major milestones, why they matter, and what we
| wrote about them. Please to enjoy.
