Linux contributors face new rules
Open Source Development Labs, which promotes adoption of Linux, said Monday it is putting in place a new system to better track and document changes to the operating system's kernel.
Samizdat -- stinks on ice.
Since their 14 May announcement of a forthcoming book purporting to show that Linus Torvalds did not write Linux, the Alexis de Tocqueville Institute has come in for enraged attack not just fom Linux fans but from Andy Tanenbaum, one of the people they cite as a major evidentiary source and the wronged party in their narrative. For some unaccountable reason ADTI just sent me 92 pages of the book. As one who both lived through and has studied the history of Unix and open source, I can report that this thing is probably the worst case of fraud and ax-grinding I've seen since "Arming America".

A model for open source software development
Critics of open source software have argued that, from an economic standpoint, "giving the product away" makes no sense. As a new business model, open source has been the victim of many misconceptions and mischaracterizations: that it's the equivalent of communism, that's it's like a virus, and that it's economically dangerous to society, for example. In such a hostile atmosphere, it's not easy to objectively assess a new paradigm that differs greatly from the status quo.

Where should you use open source? A scenario-based analysis

It was led by Forrester analysts John Rymer and Uttam Narsu and was run as a roundtable discussion with heavy audience participation. A majority of the 30 people in the room said they had tried at least one open source program at some point, but it was apparent that this was not necessarily a gathering of open source boosters.
