Sun Launches New Site for Hosting Open Source Projects
,----[ Quote ]
| Sun Microsystems has launched a new effort to compete with Google Code and
| various Forge sites with its beta site Project Kenai (pronounced Keen-Eye).
| According to a blog post, the site was launched quietly on Friday, and a
| primary goal of the site is to host open source projects and encourage
| collaboration on them. Project Kenai is built on Ruby on Rails, and uses
| Subversion and Mercurial version-control systems.

The double-edged sword of the economy for open source
,----[ Quote ]
| When I talk to vendors, I can often tell how truly open source they are based
| on their response to the question: what has been the impact of the economy on
| your business? Those that still have a foot or more in the proprietary
| software world frequently say, ‘Well, times are tough, but we aren’t really
| seeing any impact.’ Those that are enjoying the benefits of open source
| software development, distribution and cost will typically say, ‘We think
| organizations are being forced to cut costs at the same time they are being
| forced into compliance and regulation, so it’s driving deals our way.’
