What Would a More Open Twitter Look Like?
,----[ Quote ]
| It might look something like the idea
| proposed by Dave Winer, inventor of the
| RSS standard. Heâs written often about the
| idea of âa decentralized Twitterâ and how
| heâd like to see someone develop a Twitter
| app based on open-source standards, which
| he compared to the Apache open-source
| server software that lies behind a
| majority of the websites on the Internet.
| More recently, heâs talked about how
| developers of Twitter clients â whether
| they be apps, or services such as
| WordPress (see disclosure below) or Tumblr
| â could build an âemergency broadcast
| systemâ that would function even when
| Twitter is down.

New Open Source Cloud Data Integration Solution Runs on Amazon EC2
,----[ Quote ]
| Talend, another open source company,
| offers a data-integration-as-a-service
| solution, called Talend on Demand, which
| launched in 2007. I'd love to be able to
| tell you the difference between offering a
| cloud-based solution and a SaaS-based
| solution, but I'm still trying to figure
| that one out. Obviously, Jitterbit's
| solution runs on Amazon EC2, whereas
| Talend is a subscription service that
| requires you to download a management
| product, but beyond that, I'm not sure.
| I'll have to get back with you on that
| one.

Marten Mickos says the cloud won't kill open source
,----[ Quote ]
| Mickos naturally believes that Eucalyptus
| has the software to do the job. But his
| bigger point is that, as public cloud
| services grow to envelope the world, so,
| too, will "private clouds" grow. And for
| enterprises, the lines will blur. Most
| will use "hybrid" clouds with some
| infrastructure for each application placed
| on premises and some delivered as a
| service, he says.

Lucky Number Seven (7th Linux Distribution on an HP 2133)
,----[ Quote ]
| Following my recent post about Six Linux
| Distributions on an HP 2133, I saw a comment
| saying that I had not tried Jolicloud.
|
| [...]
|
| After the installation completes and you reboot,
| everything works. Everything. The big difference
| here from Ubuntu and Linux Mint is that rather
| than tell you that proprietary Broadcom WiFi
| drivers are available and prompt you to install
| them, Jolicloud installs them automatically, and
| then just notifies you after boot that new
| proprietary drivers are in use. The display
| resolution is correct for both the WSVGA
| (1024x600) and WXGA (1280x768) models. Sound,
| wired networking, and CPU speed stepping all
| work.
