Bruce Perens & Eric Raymond Respond to SCO's "Open Letter". Mr. McBride, in your "Open Letter to the Open Source Community" your offer to negotiate with us comes at the end of a farrago of falsehoods, half-truths, evasions, slanders, and misrepresentations. You must do better than this. We will not attempt to erect a compromise with you on a foundation of dishonesty. [Meerkat: An Open Wire Service: O'Reilly Network Weblogs]

Data center makeover, part 1: Linux topples college's IT Tower of Babel (TechTarget). TechTarget - Two years ago, Anthony Hill found an IT Tower of Babel in the data center of San Francisco-based Golden Gate University. The technology architecture -- which served 1,000-plus desktops, 6,000-plus staff and student users and 50,000-plus directory identities -- contained almost every software platform and hardware system extant. "Everything except a mainframe," Hill said. As the institution's new chief technology officer, he was charged with creating order in this chaos and restructuring the data center to facilitate GGU's goal of operating as efficiently an e-business.

Web 2.0 is alive and well. VodooPad is a WikiWiki for the desktop. Nice.

Let me refine the Web 2.0 concept. Web 2.0 is based on desktop software that allows individuals to create n x n dynamic personal websites that run locally. [John Robb's Weblog]

Sigh... Like so many coolTools these days, only runs on OSX. Isn't anybody doing anything cool like this for the Wintel world?
