The Open-Source Buzz
,----[ Quote ]
| However, today I will focus on a lesser-known
| but growing buzzword: open-source software.
| Before I explain what exactly qualifies
| software as open-source, Iâll note that it
| has grown in popularitty in the government,
| non-profit and education sectors. For
| example, Drupal, a popular open-source
| content management used by CornellSun.com,
| was recently adopted both by the Cornell
| libraryâs website as well as WhiteHouse.gov.

Revisiting Biases Against Open Source SOA Solutions
,----[ Quote ]
| He urges architects to define the
| architecture in a implementation
| agnostic/vendor-neutral way and evaluate the
| suitability of candidate solutions; be it
| open source or vendor solutions. He concludes
| his article with an endorsement of the
| viability of OSS for SOA implementations in
| the enterprise.
|
| Check your FUD at the door. Make sure you
| arenât losing an advantage by prematurely
| eliminating OSS from your SOA
| infrastructure mix.

At Open Source and the Cloud, IT opportunities and challenges
,----[ Quote ]
| The big question is if source code matters in
| the age of the cloud, and what do developers
| and IT staff need to know as their world
| evolves at a breakneck pace.
|
| We'll also discuss whether any of this
| matters and if we've reached the point where
| consuming applications is more important than
| their origins and future plans. Maybe open
| APIs have supplanted open source?
