Guest Post: Yahoo's Cloud Team Open Sources Traffic Server

Today, Yahoo moved its open source cloud computing initiatives up a notch with the donation of its Traffic Server product to the Apache Software Foundation. Traffic Server is used in-house at Yahoo to manage its own traffic and it enables session management, authentication, configuration management, load balancing, and routing for entire cloud computing stacks. We asked the cloud computing team at Yahoo for a series of guest posts about Traffic Server, and you'll find the first one here.


A Personal Account On Getting Deeply Involved With Apache

As we reported recently, the ApacheCon 2009 conference is rapidly approaching, to be held November 2nd through 6th in Oakland, California.? The conference will feature sessions and speakers talking not only about web server- and services-related topics, but about the Hadoop software framework for data-intensive queries,? and the many sub-projects that the Apache Software Foundation oversees. The event is partly intended to mark the 10th anniversary of the Apache Software Foundation, and we already ran a post from Jim Jagielski, co-founder and chairman of the foundation, on Apache's future, and a post from Justin Erenkrantz, who is the president.

As another post in our Apache series, today we offer up a guest item from Shane Curcuru, a director at ASF, on his personal experiences with the foundation. Here it is.

A Field Report from OSCON

As you?re probably well aware, OSCON is one of the must-attend open source conferences held each year, and last week, the 11th annual OSCON was held in San Jose, California. Although some felt that OSCON didn?t quite make the splash in its new San Jose home that was expected, the decidedly geeky conference put on by tech publisher O?Reilly Media included many sessions and exhibitors of interest. Here are a few notable examples, in a guest column from SourceForge advisory board member Mark R. Hinkle.


The Future of Collaborative Networks

Aaron Fulkerson is co-founder and CEO of MindTouch, which has grown from a small open source project into a very popular collaboration platform that enables users to connect and customize enterprise systems, social tools and web services. With millions of users, MindTouch is deployed by many large companies, including Microsoft, Fujitsu, Siemens, Intel, The Washington Post, and others. We asked Aaron for a short series of guest posts here on OStatic, on the topic of where collaborative networks are headed. You'll find his first post here, below the fold.


Jaduka CEO Thomas Howe on Telephony, Open Source and Innovation

Recognized as one of the most influential voices in the voice-over-IP (VoIP) arena, Thomas Howe is the CEO of Jaduka. The company's APIs incorporate common Internet building blocks, making it easy to integrate telephony services with any HTML-based application on any operating system. Jaduka's APIs facilitate many of the voice mashups appearing on the web--applications where voice services, data and applications create new services. Howe won VON Magazine's Innovator's Award for 2008. We asked him for a guest column here on OStatic, on the role open source is playing in telephony applications and voice mashups. You'll find it here, below the fold.


Multilingual Web Sites, Part Two: Translation/Localization Resources

In an earlier guest post today, titled Toward a Multilingual Web Site: Easy First Steps, Brian McConnell, of Worldwide Lexicon and DerMundo, outlined some of the first steps you can take if you want to make a web site accessible in other languages, including open source resources. In this follow-up post, Brian provides many specific tools and sites you can visit for making the process easier. Are you familiar with Moses, Pootle and Apertium--all open source translation resources? Read on for part two in the series.


Toward a Multilingual Web Site: Easy First Steps

For many publishers and web app developers, from independent bloggers ?
to high volume sites, designing a site to be multilingual is an afterthought, often thought to be extremely difficult, writes Brian McConnell, of Worldwide Lexicon and DerMundo, in this guest post for OStatic. That's unfortunate because the world is a big place, and there's a lot of interesting content out there waiting to be read. Also accessibility in multiple languages is directly in the spirit of open source. Here are some easy first steps for helping make your site accessible in other languages, to be followed by several specific tools Brian has identified that you can use.


New "Message Bridge" Enables IMs Between Open Source Virtual Worlds

By Wagner James Au

What you're looking at in the screen captures here and below the fold represents a small but significant milestone in open source metaverse technology.? If in the future, Orcs in a fantasy MMORPG are able to IM their friends flying starships in a sci-fi MMO, this may be remembered as one of the innovations which helped point the way.? It's called the Parallel Selves Message Bridge, a new addition to the code forge of OpenSimulator, the Apache for virtual worlds project featured on OStatic last year.? The Bridge makes it possible for users within one OpenSim world to send IMs to users currently logged into another Second Life-compatible world.? (OpenSim is reverse engineered from SL's viewer source code.)?
