Do you really need paid support for Open Source products?
,----[ Quote ]
| My personal experience ,after seven years of involvement with LAMP (Linux,
| Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python/Perl) type production server environments, is that
| the free community distributions of many well-respected Open Source products
| are so good that they rarely, if ever, required paid support.

Open source tools becoming commercial products? This can be a good thing.
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source tools in some capacity find their way into the enterprise IT
| environment. While some open source efforts will stall over time, others will
| continue to thrive and have commercial offerings based on the open source
| roots. One particular example where a popular open source tool has led to a
| commercial offering is the ntop tool.

Acquia: Counting Down to Commercially Supported Drupal
,----[ Quote ]
| The folks from Acquia were in San Francisco for the LinuxWorld conference
| this week. Acquia, as we've covered before, has been working away on an array
| of support offerings and services for the powerful open source Drupal content
| management system (CMS). OStatic is based on Drupal, as are sites such as
| Fast Company and The Onion. Acquia's goal is to apply a Red Hat-like approach
| to support and services for Drupal, and it will deliver these offerings later
| this year. I caught up with Barry Jaspan, security lead and principal
| engineer at Acquia, to find out what's cooking.

“Hybrid” Source, MySQL, and the Economics of Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| As is typical, I’m late with the news, but given that we’re still getting
| inquiries on the subject, it’s worth taking a look at the MySQL Workbench
| news. Particularly in light of the fact that it’s closely tied to another
| frequent line of questioning from our clients: hybrid source. In an effort to
| kill the proverbial two birds, then, let’s indulge in a quick Q&A on the
| subject.
