The catch? He was 16 at the time. Recently, Weller was awarded the 2010 Fedora Scholarship for his contributions to Fedora and his dedication to open source software. When he came to Lawrence, Kansas, to enroll in classes at the University of Kansas, he stopped by our office and answered questions about Fedora, Flam3, and what his friends think of his hobby.

The tips are fun and the hope of discov- ering hidden gems makes it a worthwhile task. John Southern Former editor of Linux Magazine I enjoyed Ubuntu Kung Fu and learned some new things. I would rec- ommend this book—nice tips and a lot of fun to be had. Carthik Sharma Creator of the Ubuntu Blog (http://ubuntu.wordpress.com) Wow! There are some great tips here!

  • Software Wars, Business Strategies and IP Litigation
    Software Wars, Business Strategies and IP Litigation Immediately after Oracle America filed a patent infringement suit against Google Inc. in August 2010 the trade press labelled this a “software war.” Their interest was a trial featuring Oracle’s “star” counsel David Boies. In mid-January often cited Florian Mueller of NoSoftwarePatents, wrote “Google is patently too weak to protect Android—Google’s cell phone software.”1 (On April 4 Lead bidder Google offered $900 million for Nortel’s 6,000 patents and applications. A decision is expected in June}. By the end of March he had counted 39 patent infringement suits against Google.2 Whether Oracle wins Oracle v Google or not, Oracle and IBM may become losers. It is important that Oracle not alienate the software development community or its customers as it attempts to monetise the assets from the Sun Microsystems—now Oracle America— acquisition. The Oracle v. Google complaint was carefully targeted at Google’s Android software, avoiding the appearance of monetising the Java language and platform itself. The Android software was developed as open source in conjunction with the Open Handset Alliance. Android's mobile operating system is based on a modified version of the Linux kernel, subject to Linux patents. Google published all of the computer code under an Apache Software Foundation License.3 This license is royalty-free and places no restrictions on derivative products or commercial use. Based on IDC market share estimates by the fourth quarter of 2010, Android phones had 39% of the market. An Oracle asset gained through the acquisition of Sun was the OpenOffice open-source software—one of the only remaining substantial “competitors” to Microsoft’s document processing applications.

Introduction Since a few years, Google has become perhaps a single vision of the Internet – from Google search and YouTube to Gmail and Android phones. When most people, including me and you, use the Internet, they normally use Google to search for information on a regular basis. But you probably don't exactly know about all of the interesting things going on at Google that is available to you online. To keep people in the Google way of life, the company constantly launches new services. In fact, Google has an official "20 percent" rule that asks every employee to spend "one day a week working on projects that aren't necessarily in our job descriptions." These extracurricular experiments lived at GoogleLabs.com where anyone could try out the almost-finished projects.
