WebAnywhere - Open Source for the Public Good

0 comments
Every once in a while you run across an open source project that has the potential to make a lot of lives easier - without making anyone richer. Open source is a good fit for this sort of altruistic project: giving stuff away and reaching out in practical ways just seem to go well together. One such project is WebAnywhere, a new take on the speech-enabled (and thus accessible to people with limited or no sight) browser.

Structure 08: Salesforce On SaaS, Disruptive Tech, Entrepeneur Tips

0 comments
Recently we've been discussing open source tools for software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications and the good fit that many people perceive there to be for open source and SaaS. As part of GigaOm's Structure 08 conference today, our sister site has an interview with Salesforce founder Parker Harris. Salesforce is proprietary, but is a stunning example of SaaS success. Also check out the Structure panel on next-generation infrastructure for new entrepeneurs, and AMR Research's thoughts on disruptive technologies and trends.

Structure 08: VMWare's Co-Founder, Amazon's CTO, Sun's CTO

0 comments
We've written a lot about virtualization lately, including Red Hat entering the race, and good tools you can use to run Linux with other operating systems. Today, our sister blog GigaOm is hosting a very special event on cloud computing: Structure 08. OStatic will be posting interviews and news out of the conference all day. To begin with, if you're interested in virtualization, check out this interview with Mendel Rosenblum, VMWare's co-founder. You may also enjoy hearing from Amazon CTO Werner Vogels on how companies with no server infrastructure can do very compute-intensive things, and how Sun's CTO sees SaaS developing.

LiMo Foundation Says It Welcomes the Symbian Foundation

0 comments
As we posted yesterday, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and NTT Docomo announced today that they will unite the Symbian OS, S60, UIQ and MOAP(S) into one open source mobile software platform. In conjunction, a number of members have announced the Symbian Foundation, to oversee the new platform. Now, the LiMo Foundation--which has a Linux-based mobile platform that will arrive on many phones later this year--has issued a statement welcoming the Symbian Foundation. Will we in fact see fierce competition between these two entities?

Four To-Do List Managers Worth a Look

2 comments

One of my favorite to-do list applications is Tasque, made by the same folks who created the very cool note-taking app Tomboy. Yesterday the developers released 0.1.6, that fixes some bugs and adds a couple of new features, including a new task entry widget at the top of the app's window.

 

Tasque is a lightweight little app that doesn't have a ton of features yet (but it's one of the few that integrates with the popular Web-based reminder app Remember The Milk), so if you're looking for something more robust, there are plenty of options out there. Let's take a look at a few.

Linux vs. Closed-Source Kernel Modules

2 comments
There's an uneasy relationship between Linux and some of the bits that make it work on many computers - closed-source kernel modules. These modules - NVidia video card drivers are the most notorious example - add substantial, and sometimes critical, functionality to Linux without themselves being open source. Now a group of kernel developers are on the record with their opposition to these modules.

Symbian to Go Open Source, Nokia to Buy Out Symbian Shares

0 comments
There's more momentum on the mobile open source front. Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and NTT Docomo announced today that they will unite Symbian OS, S60, UIQ and MOAP(S) into one open mobile software platform. In addition, the Symbian Foundation is now formed, with many prominent early members, including AT&T, LG Electronics, Samsung, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Vodafone. Nokia will also buy out the remaining shares of Symbian Limited that it doesn't already own, for $410 million. Is Nokia only aiming to stop paying hefty Symbian license fees, or does this point to a promising new open source mobile platform? What does this mean for Linux phones?
