Patent absurdity
- Stallman on the EU software patent mess.
Open-source LAMP a beacon to developers
- Beautiful. Our pal Stephen O'Grady gets a nice quote in this one. To the moon!
Linus compares Linux and BSDs
- Which mindset is right? Mine, of course. People who disagree with me are by definition crazy. (Until I change my mind, when they can suddenly become upstanding citizens. I'm flexible, and not black-and-white.)
Seth Vidal : Fedora Foundation
- Seth on the recent Fedora Foundation announcement: "It reminds me of the announcements about 2 years ago for something called the Red Hat Linux Project."
How The Kernel Development Process Works
- Debunking the common myth that anyone can commit changes to any F/OSS project whenever they.
Mr. Yum
- A great snap of Seth Vidal, quite possibly the best project leader I've ever had the privilege of working with.
Using Bash's History Effectively
- Need to move away from `history | grep -i`
Emacs as Cargo
- Came across this odd section in a "leaving Emacs for vi" document and it has a really interesting description of the history of FSF/GNU, Linux, and the evolution of Free Software. Seems out of place in this document but is worth reading.
Brazil: Free Software's Biggest and Best Friend
- Brazil gets it. They could be the international version of Silicon Valley in the next five years...
MIT Backs Brazil's Free Software over Microsoft
- I'm seriously considering considering moving to Brazil. That country is really starting to get their shit together and the gov seems close to the people.
Microsoft's first explicit anti-GNU/Linux ad
- From Oct 23, 2000 issue of the German language magazine c't
Open Sores Software Development
- "Save Money, Save Time, Save Your Ass"
Eclipse Java-GNOME Demo

Ross Burton points to some recent discussion on the
JPackage mailing list that seems to indicate that IBM
may be freeing their JVM and may have intentions of getting a version into the
JPackage repository.
MSFT refuses to give 15 XP licenses for tsunami relief related work
- I almost puked when I read this. I hope there's just been a mix up or something.
A Sneak Peek at GNOME 2.10
- Looks like a nice little upgrade..
MilkMint GTK2 Theme (for GNOME)
- A nice and simple theme for GTK2/GNOME desktop environments (click thumbnail image to see larger screenshot).
CNet: Red Hat tries again with Linux enthusiasts
- Decent coverage of recent Fedora activity. Things should start kicking up here now that Fedora Extras CVS is available and Seth Vital is taking a more active role.
Experimental Culture
- A look at the past, present, and possible future of GNOME culture.
I completely forgot to mention what is quite possibly the most important event
to date in Kid history: the
first real application to incorporate Kid
templating is Ross Burton's sexy Tate (I said, “sexy Tate,” not
“sexy Taint!”). It's an elegant, RDF / XHTML photo gallery that
I'm dying to get my hands on. If you're into nice semantic usage of (X)HTML,
make sure to peep the page source and check out the correct usage of <ul>’s
and whatnot.
Ross has reported a few issues and even mentioned plans for packaging Kid for
Debian. He's the proprietor of the excellent Sound Juicer CD
ripper for GNOME 2, Debian contributor, and takes some kick-ass photos to boot.
Torvalds: A Solaris skeptic
- Linus on Solaris going OSS.
I've had a few conversations recently where someone expressed interest
in GNU/Linux and asked about getting involved. I really wanted to
suggest that they consider joining the Fedora project but I
couldn't do that comfortably because, well, there are some pretty
massive issues.
So I'm really excited to see that Redhat is finally getting around to
really supporting the excellent volunteer community that
has dedicated themselves to making Fedora, and by extension Redhat's
commercial offerings, excellent distributions. Herewith some recent
news that led to this post...
Gish
- Supposedly kick ass video game for OS X, Linux, and Windows. Free demo available.
Optimize Me Harder
- "Nobody *really* modifies the source of open source software." -- somebody didn't get that memo; possibly all of australia..
