We've been busy collaborating. The movement is open source culture and we have an issue to prove it. 





                                                                 
Our feature articles include many projects dispersed across
collaborative environments: designing the Fedora logo, building a
non-proprietary house, and giving every child a laptop.
                                                                       
Yes, the community has heady goals, and the efforts include forging
ahead with the Open Invention Network and Fedora Ambassadors. We hope
you'll also support innovative ways to maintain copyright with the
Creative Commons annual fundraiser.
                                                                    
Then there's music to code by, dual monitors, and dual operating
systems...
                                                                     
Enjoy.  And let us know what you think...

Sincerely,

Feature Articles: Open source in the real world

Open source isn't just for software anymore--people in all walks of life
are recognizing that transparency and collaboration are effective ways
of doing business.  From community service to community-building, graphic
design to home design, you can find examples of folks sharing knowledge to
create better work anywhere and everywhere.

The virtues of Xen

Xen gives you the manning station you've dreamed about: just you, one

Open Invention Network to protect against patent threat
by Mark Webbink
Consider this effort similar to the 1765 Stamp Act protest of Ben
Franklin. It may not be about letterhead and imported paper, but it is about
representational democracy. Hear the call of freedom.

Music to make code by
by Jonathan Opp
It's just you, a workstation, a pair of headphones, a triple latte, and
a few thousand lines of code. In times like these the right music is critical.
Music fans at Red Hat offer some advice.

The Fedora Foundation is taking shape, and spreading the word at a
tradeshow near you. Hear from current ambassadors, and find out if you qualify for office.

Suspect in the future you'll grow your business BIG but for now the
investment isn't justified? Well, play like the big boys but for a free ride:
test drive Oracle database 10g Express.
