After a brief respite since Wednesday of last week, due to travel and quite an unexpected spike in my workload, I finally carved out time to squeeze out a blog entry. It's funny because I don't realize how wired to blog I am until I miss several days (something that's happened quite a bit over the past two months)...
- Microsoft and Red Hat: No IP talk
Even though the article mentions talks of interoperability in the same breath as IP talk, yet in reality the two couldn't be further apart. Going forward, interoperability with open source will prove more compulsory than optional.
- Will Oracle buy Red Hat?
I doubt it...yet there is something fundamentally intriguing about Oracle purchasing BEA. Savio provides some additional light on the topic.
- Surprises in the Linux market?
Number 4 on the list rings especially true with the whirlwind of activity, speculation and attention surrounding OpenSolaris.
- Talend secures $3.5 million
I had the opportunity to speak with some folks from Talend and those who have experience with Talend Open Studio, at JavaOne this year, and was impressed by the company's potential within a data integration space which is experiencing only the first stages of open source disruption.
- Business models
Dave Dargo points out several noteworthy points in this piece and I agree with a great deal of it. However, I'm still of the opinion that proprietary software still has a place in the world, even if it's a largely marginal when compared to the preeminence it once enjoyed.
- Blogs are taking over influence of tech media
Is anyone surprised? I'm certainly not...
- Intel's mobile Linux initiative
In my eyes Intel remains something of an enigma amongst the open source landscape. I've always felt they could be a bit more active...Oh well, perhaps this is a coming out party, of sorts.
