Adopting and Using Open Source Software First Annual COSI Conference Held September 7, 2005 -- Redwood Shores, California Open source software is changing the way that software is being developed and used, with a significant impact on software developers, vendors, and users. Millions of people use the OpenOffice™ productivity suite and/or the Firefox™ web browser. Many of the world’s most heavily used websites are built with open source software, so almost everyone is a user of open source. Software developers also rely on open source development tools and execution environments. Companies are beginning to formulate policies around their use of open source software, as well as adjusting their acquisition, adoption, and development processes. This one-day conference, organized by Carnegie Mellon's Center for Open Source Investigation (COSI), brought together leading experts from industry and academia to discuss key topics in evaluating, adopting, licensing, using, and supporting open source software. These experts have extensive experience with both traditional packaged and open source products. The goal of the conference is to help companies understand technical, business, and organizational issues that influence decisions about open source solutions. The conference is aimed at managers with responsibility for software product development, software acquisition, internal IT operations, and related policy- making. We are grateful to our sponsors for their support. Speakers and topics included: Rod Smith, IBM, “Open source development and use: the big picture” Shaun Connolly, JBoss, “Making the move from packaged software to open source” Wim Coekaerts, Oracle, "Deploying Open Source in an Enterprise Environment" Lawrence Rosen, Attorney, Rosenlaw and Einschlag, “Making sense of open source software licensing” Brian Behlendorf, CollabNet, “Building and working with collaborative communities” Stormy Peters, HP, “Establishing open source policies in your company” From cosi.west.cmu.edu/conference05/ 1 6 January 2006 These presentations were complemented by panel discussions on evaluating, adopting, and supporting open source software.

    2004 February

    February 2004 Games and Entertainment Megan Morrone Today you can use the same machine to organize your finances, create a presentation for your boss, and defend the Earth from flesh-eating aliens. But let’s be honest: Even with the crazy advances in software, organizing your finances and creating a presentation for your boss are still not half as much fun as defending the Earth from flesh-eating aliens.That’s why we’ve devoted the entire month of February to the noble pursuit of games and entertainment for PCs, Macs, game consoles, and PDAs. I know what you’re thinking.You’re thinking that you can skip right over this chapter because you’re not a gamer. Gamers are all sweaty, pimpled, 16-year-old boys who lock themselves in their basements sustained only by complex carbohydrates and Mountain Dew for days on end, right? Wrong.Video games aren’t just for young boys anymore. Saying you don’t like video games is like saying you don’t like ice cream or cheese or television or fun.Are you trying to tell me that you don’t like fun? If you watch The Screen Savers,you know that each member of our little TV family has a uniquely different interest in games. Morgan loves a good frag fest, whereas Martin’s tastes tend toward the bizarre (think frogs in blenders or cow tossing.) Kevin knows how to throw a cutting-edge LAN party,while Joshua and Roger like to kick back with old-school retro game emulators. I like to download free and simple low-res games that you can play on even the dinkiest PC, whereas Patrick prefers to build and rebuild the perfect system for the ultimate gaming experience (see February 13).And leave it to Leo to discover the most unique new gaming experience for the consummate early adopter (see February 1).

    Tout, Vous Saurez Tout Sur Google Et L'open Source

    Tout, vous saurez tout sur Google et l’Open Source Profitons de l’actualité récente de Google, qui a fermé plusieurs de ses services ou s’apprête à le faire (exemple parfait qu’il faut développer et encourager les services Web Open Source pour que, à l’instar des logiciels libres "classiques", leur pérennité soit assurée) pour évoquer la politique du géant incontournable de la recherche (mais aussi de la messagerie électronique, des documents en ligne, de la gestion de photos et j’en passe…) concernant l’Open Source. Chacun sait que Google, même s’il garde jalousement l’algorithme de son moteur de recherche, contribue largement au monde de l’Open Source (Google Summer of Code, GoogleCode, Android etc.). [1] Cet article, entretien avec Chris DiBona, responsable de l’Open Source chez Google, n’est pas des plus récents, mais il est d’autant plus intéressant à relire aujourd’hui qu’entre- temps Google a sorti son navigateur Chrome (la question de la relation entre Google et Mozilla est abordée dans l’entretien) et s’apprête par exemple à libérer le code d’applications (parce qu’elles n’étaient pas rentables) telles que le réseau de microblogging Jaiku. Entretien avec Chris DiBona de Google Interview with Chris DiBona of Google Sean Ammirati – 26 avril 2007 – ReadWriteWeb Traduction Framalang : Penguin, Olivier, Don Rico Il y a quelques semaines, j’ai eu l’occasion d’écouter Chris DiBona, le responsable du programme Open Source chez Google, qui a fait une intervention lors du TiE de Pittsburgh. Pendant la conférence, Chris a donné une présentation extrêmement perspicace de l’état du marché de l’Open Source.

    Copyright Issues with Open Source Software

    www.dwt.com COPYRIGHT ISSUES WITH OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE I. INTRODUCTION Today, most companies are using open source software internally, and many are actively distributing open source software either within software programs or embedded in physical products. According to one study, ninety percent of companies will utilize OSS either directly or embedded in other programs by 2012.1 When companies use open source software in development projects, one survey found that twenty-two percent of the software product or application is open source software.2 Software developers, especially those newly educated, view OSS as another resource to use in developing software.3 The term “open source” refers to a concept of freedom of software, not freedom from costs associated with using the software.4 The bottom line is that users are not free to use the software in any way that they might like; if users do not heed the requirements placed on the use of OSS, they might find themselves embroiled in an action claiming copyright infringement.5 Each piece of OSS has an accompanying license. Although these licenses may be grouped into three broad categories, permissive, weak “copyleft,” and strong “copyleft,”6 figuring out which restrictions apply to software programs that combine different pieces of OSS, and, more fundamentally, whether the licenses even allow the pieces to be combined, are daunting tasks. The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has approved approximately seventy separate OSS licenses.7 In addition, open source developers have created hundreds of other versions of software 1 Richard Acello, Opening Up to Open Source: Corporation Counsel Must Be Ready to Deal with “Free” Software and Its Licensing, 94–JUN A.B.A.
