I am writing this from the Big Apple. The Linuxworld Open Solutions Summit is in New York and running from February 13th through February 15th. I questioned the wisdom of holding a conference in February on the East coast rather than the milder shores of the West Coast - since I arrived the middle of a snowstorm after a day's delay caused by flight cancellations. But once I got here the bright... more

Based on the email I received I would say that many Port 25 readers noticed my post last week on job openings in my new lab. Thank you for your positive responses (and especially the resume submissions)! Brad Cutler, my counterpart at Novell, has been overwhelmed with responses as well, so thank you on his behalf. I’ve called this a sneak peek because there is much work ahead of us, but it’s time... more

At least four academic research papers in the last 12 months have observed IT vendors appear to have made investments in open source software in order to combine open source assets with their proprietary software portfolios or other revenue drivers-- using open source to strengthen a “value chain” that might extend across other software products, hardware, and consulting services. The largest publicly... more

This morning I’ve been catching up on the status of Perl 6. Years ago, Perl was something I used a lot for all sorts of tasks, including a lot of backend data wrangling for a couple of the startups I worked at. One of the benefits and banes of Perl is its tremendous flexibility. It is powerful, but given enough rope…. When I came across one of Damian Conway’s contributions to Perl 6, ‘junctions... more

I am an avid reader of Joel On Software – I find his insights great and very revealing. I was reading a recent blog post by Joel entitled “The Big Picture” in which he has this to say about open source: “Open source doesn’t quite work like that. It’s really good at implementing copycat features, because there’s a spec to work from: the implementation you’re copying. It’s really good at Itch Scratching... more

If you live on the eastside in the greater Seattle area, you may be among the million-plus people who were out of power during the massive windstorm last month. As Bill Hilf pointed out in his previous blog “what matters”, these are rare intermissions which allow us to step back and understand what sets us apart as “intelligent” beings...... more
