Community grows for open-source enterprise apps
,----[ Quote ]
| Importantly, these communities are highly
| additive to the companies associated with
| them. Zimbra, for example, has more than 50
| million paid mailboxes and counting.
| Alfresco, for its part, has grown every
| quarter since its formation in early 2005,
| with its last quarter seeing a 30-percent
| quarter-over-quarter increase on an already
| large base.

Will open source ever be completely free?
,----[ Quote ]
| While there's still plenty of room for Red
| Hat and other commercial Linux vendors to
| grow, especially as the overall Linux
| market's growth outpaces the 1 percent
| decline in paid adoption, this trend toward
| self-support (which trend is also evident
| in other mature open-source markets) could
| imply that charging for open-source bits
| (and packaging it as a subscription) may
| not be the ideal model in the long term.

Facebook still pitching itself to open-source crowd
,----[ Quote ]
| A company like Facebook obviously wants to
| be there, and at past FOWA events it's used
| the soapbox opportunity to market developer
| initiatives like its application platform
| and Facebook Connect log-in tool. But this
| year the focus was instead on open source,
| with relatively recent hire David Recordon
| taking the stage rather than a platform
| evangelist. Recordon, who spearheaded the
| launch of the Open Web Foundation, is
| Facebook's first really prominent open-
| source guru, and when it comes to
| Facebook's marketing pitches, the open-
| source guys have taken a little more
| coaxing than the iPhone developers or
| widget-builders.

Using Facebook XMPP chat on Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| The first step to recovery is to admit you
| have a problem. Hi everyone, my name is
| Alan and I do have a Facebook account.
| There, done it. Feels better already.
| I donât use it that much, and frankly I
| find it a little disturbing the way it
| mixes up all your friends, family and work
| contacts so they all talk to each other.
| But this isnât a post about my insecurities
| and paranoid delusions. No, it is a post
| about Ubuntu and XMPP. Facebook now does
| XMPP, which is an instant messaging
| protocol also known as Jabber. It is the
| same thing Google talk uses and the same
| thing that the most awesome OLPC XO uses
| for communication.
