One of my favorite debating points in my MBA class is the limited usefulness of regulation to promote fair competition and stimulate economic growth at the same time. While competition is a good thing, achieving it through regulation usually stifles innovation. Of course, this is a complex area of economic policy that stirs up very intense reactions from people.

In its ongoing effort to become the coolest city in the U.S., the mayor of Portland, Oregon, is going to attempt tomorrow night to make it an “open source city,” making its data as open as possible while respecting privacy, and buying open source applications when possible.

25 years of shouting out loud “FREE THE SOURCE” on the streets walking naked, 25 years is a long time till now not many trust the open source they would rather turn to closed source, that’s unbelievable till now…In my country we haven’t adapted the open source phenomenon throughly, we still have doubts on it, sometimes the reason is, that if you use close source then it fails you have company to blame, if you use open source you have no one to blame but your self or you can sue every committer that has worked on that application, but that would be a waste of time.

I received this set of questions from Laura Ferrar after a Central Texas DITA User Group meeting this summer, and I have been thinking about these for a few months. These are good questions. I’ll try to answer them to the best of my knowledge, but I do think I should lead with the disclaimer “I am not a lawyer.” Laura: Could you elaborate more on the legal and copyright issues of open source content, and collaborative content, beyond asking for permission? Anne: First, a few definitions.

You know, when I started this blog a few months ago, I figured it would be a good place for me to gather my thoughts on a subject in which I have a fair amount of interest, and serve as a kind of howto repository for myself. I keep a lot of notes when I learn things in the Linux world, and I considered The Linux Critic blog to be an extension of that.

As part of a “disruptive technologies” course at the United States Military Academy, [Roy D. Ragsdale] produced a working prototype of a Google Street View-like system called PhotoTrail. Like its corporate-backed inspiration, the system captures georeferenced 360-degree panoramas that can be viewed interactively in a web browser…but at a hardware cost of only around $300. [Ragsdale’s] prototype is based entirely on consumer-grade off-the-shelf components and open source software, all tied together by the yin and yang of DIY: foam core board and a few Python scripts.

Very few clients ask how we will build a website for them, or what software we use.  The question we do get is “Will I be able to edit the site myself?”  The answer is YES!  We are proud to exclusively use a content management system (CMS) called WordPress to build our websites. Why? It is the #1 blogging platform ( read more about this here ) among the top 100 blogs.  It is also used by quite a few Fortune 500 companies !  There are a lot of OPINIONS flying around out there about the best way to build a site, but instead of jumping in and forming technical arguments that are lost on most people – we just use the #1 platform and rely on the “ Wisdom of Crowds “.

So, as you may know we’re running a WordPress MU and BuddyPress plugin contest this year – like we did last year – and for which we’re stumping up $1000, just like we are for the corresponding regular WordPress plugin contest in 2009 (as we also did in 2008). All plugins have to be freely available, have to be 100% GPL compatible and – in short – be completely sweet with the WP rules.

Hi Oz! I thought you’d like this story. This young man apparently keeps coming up with new ideas, (like rafting down the Charles River on a raft made of bottles). However, this particular idea I thought might interest you. He launched a camera into near-space using a weather balloon, a cell phone, hand warmers and a drink cooler. Pretty whacky idea, huh? All of the parts they used are commonly available. Yeh and Lee bought a Canon camera on eBay and then fastened it inside a Styrofoam cooler.

The concept of a self-branded Microsoft phone (or two) actually making it to market is more believable than ever. A deterrent frequently cited in years past was Microsoft’s vested interest in keeping its Windows Mobile hardware partners happy — but as even their staunchest supporters (think HTC and LG ) have turned to Android to shore up their smartphone lineups, it’d be far less of a backstabbing move on Redmond’s part to get into the business next year than it would’ve been in, say, 2006…

At this point there shouldn’t be any doubt in anyone’s mind that Apple’s response to the FCC over its ban of Google Voice was rife with half-truths and some complete falsehoods. One claim that’s entered the limelight again is Apple’s statement that it hadn’t actually rejected Google Voice, but that it was still “pondering” it. Yesterday Google released its full, unedited response to the FCC inquiry, and the newly revealed content directly contradicts Apple’s statement multiple times, explicitly stating that the application was rejected.

I’m a big fan of Open Source Software.  I run Linux on several servers at work…  I prefer to use Open Source tools like Notepad++ and Pidgin wherever possible.  It’s certainly nice getting my software for free, but that’s not the primary appeal.  The main appeal, for me, is having the source code available. I’m not a programmer.  I took a couple classes in college, but I can’t make heads or tails of most of this source code.  But it’s available.  I can download the code and run it through a compiler myself, with minimal knowledge, and be relatively certain that nobody has attached anything nasty to the binary I downloaded.

Though always considered exceedingly expensive, textbooks were once considered as fundamental to the classroom learning experience as the teacher.

Quarterly reports are the stuff of business. In most people’s minds, they are as far from the spirit of free and open source software (FOSS) as anyone can imagine. All the same, as non-profit organizations, many FOSS projects issue them. And while your first reaction may be to avoid quarterly reports, they can give some insights into projects, especially if you read between the lines.

Today, we’re posting a how-to guide today that explains how to take eBooks authored using Adobe InDesign and convert them for compatibility with the Amazon Kindle and the Kindle Store. Because Amazon uses their proprietary AZW format, the Kindle doesn’t natively support the open EPUB standard. However, with a bit of open source software, it’s fairly easy to convert the EPUB files exported with InDesign into the Amazon-compatible MOBI format. Converting InDesign documents for Kindle compatibility requires the following steps:1.

Introduction to Linux: It’s a free operating system available to download but you have to pay a tiny bit to mail order it or buy it from a company. Linux came into being about 11 years ago- it was developed by Linux Tornados of Finland along with a group of programmers from the open source software movement.

The blogging platform wars are getting really interesting and much of the discussion I find myself in lately revolves around what is happening with various CMS systems. The market can essentially be defined into 3 major camps: remotely hosted, self hosted, and community based systems. I have used pretty much every blogging platform available and each of them has its ups and downs. In this article I will cover the best options for each area taking into account price, usability, market share and of course SEO potential.

On August 19, I had a heart attack. As the EMTs were muscling me into the back of the ambulance, a lot of things went racing through my mind as I struggled against a seizing heart. Amongst the expected themes of possible death, leaving my son and loved ones, meeting my maker, and such, a strange thought took center stage: “I’m going to miss the roll-out of the Make: Science Room!” It wasn’t a stray thought from a fear-driven brain on random access, either.

At this week’s Gov 2.0 Summit, the feds seemed to have a coming out party of sorts for their new approach to IT in government – do it faster, lighter and be more transparent.

The agenda was filled with sermons on the virtue of transparency and the wisdom of open source. Watching these things be taken so seriously warms my heart.

The other day I received an email from a faculty member, asking me if there were any free forum tools that allowed threaded discussions. She said she had looked at http://www.freeforums.org but could not see any way the discussions could be viewed in a threaded format. I had never heard of free forums, so of course had to detour whatever I had been doing (must not have been that important, since I don’t remember what it was!) and take a look at it. Free Forums is actually a very powerful tool to quickly create online discussion forums.

As we commemorate the eighth anniversary of the September 11th attacks, now recognized as a National Day of Service and Remembrance , we’ve come to understand that a powerful way to honor those who lost their lives, were injured and stepped up to help that day, is by volunteering to help our communities and our country.  It is in that spirit that the Mozilla Service Week , which begins on September 14, offers us a chance to use the Internet to make the world and the Web a better place for everyone.

Building your brand name used to be about running commercials. No longer. Today, with new technology, you still need to run commercials and do in-store, and all those other things.

The software is free; you just have to adapt it, and set up a content plan to make it useful.

Let’s take a look at some important things to consider in keeping your program current.

Though it is mainly a technical professional course its introduction slides present more than a few samples for various types of open source products developed in PHP and available for free usage.

The first question many ask is why do we still see companies making money from selling similar commercial products.

All analysts knows that, and there is nothing new about that. Richard Bejtlich has preached this for years ( Read Tao of Network Security Monitoring, Beyond Intrusion Detection ).

Language: ActionScript3 is a weakly typed language This is true, and when I started using it I was also getting angry with Flex compiler that wouldn’t catch my obvious mistake.
