SpamAssassin: Fighting the War on Spam

Frustrated by spam? SpamAssassin is one of the most comprehensive tools that you can use to fight it off. Its secret is the large and varied tests that it runs on incoming e-mail messages, as well as its flexible configuration. SpamAssassin won't stop all spam, but it will significantly reduce it.


Lucene: The Open Source Search Engine

If you want to search for a piece of text on the Web, you probably turn to Google or a similar search engine. But how can you integrate search into your Web site?

Lucene is a high-quality Apache-sponsored engine for indexing and searching documents. While that would be enough for most people, a host of add-ons and complementary open source products make Lucene an even better choice when looking for a search engine.



Lots to See at the Apache Foundation's European Conference

The Apache Sofware Foundation's 2008 conference in Europe is taking place this week, with formal sessions starting today. In the coming days, I'll describe several ASF-sponsored projects that are interesting and useful, which offer useful functionality and a general promise of quality.

What does the ASF do, and what sorts of programs are discussed at the conference?



Yahoo Tries to Become the Cool Kid -- By Being More Open

Earlier this year, Microsoft announced its intention to purchase Yahoo for $44 billion in cash and stock. Now, Yahoo has announced its intention to become a fully open, platformizable company, letting developers mix and match its services and data in new and different ways. How much of this is designed to make Yahoo more profitable, and how much is simply a reaction to Microsoft's acquisition attempt? Will openness bring Yahoo more revenues, or simply make it a cooler company in developers' eyes?


Appcelerator Goes Google

Open-source RIA and SOA framework Appcelerator has a new trick up its sleeve: integration with Google's new AppEngine.

Luckily for the Appcelerator folks, their backend was already written in Python, so that porting it over was apparently a fairly simple job. Will other vendors follow suit?



Four Things Linux Needs

Mike Gunderloy's post on FOSS Factory got me thinking about what Linux needs to gain mass market acceptance. After thinking about it, I've come up with a list of four things that the Linux community needs that aren't (as far as I know) yet in the works.

This isn't a list of impossible goals -- all of these things are attainable if the Linux industry and community were to decide that they are priorities. That's not to say that they'd be easy to accomplish, but the Linux community has proven good at working together when it's important.



More Momentum at OpenX: A New CEO from Yahoo! and New Digs

There are big moves going on at OpenX. Former Yahoo! ad executive Tim Cadogan has joined the company as CEO, and the firm is moving its headquarters from chilly London to sunny L.A. If you haven't followed the OpenX story, it's an open source hosted ad management solution that competes with offerings such as Google's Ad Manager. It serves about 30,000 mostly small- to medium-sized publishers with billions of ads per day. There are good reasons to look into it as an alternative to Google's offerings, and one of those is that Google's acquisition of DoubleClick makes it both a publisher and an ad server, which may worry some clients from the perspective of conflicts.


Google App Engine and Open Source: What's in it for Us?

ScreenshotWith yesterday's big announcement of App Engine, Google has become the latest big player to join Amazon, Sun, and others in offering some way to move your applications to the cloud - or more precisely, to someone else's servers. But what does this mean to open source software efforts? A little thought shows that the implications are decidedly mixed.


oCERT: Volunteer Security Support and Response for OSS Projects

Who ya gonna call? Ready for the third-party, volunteer open source software security police? Open source software is often criticized for not including the robust security features, and response to security issues, found in commercial software counterparts. In addition, code from smaller open source projects is often wrapped into code for bigger projects, which can introduce security issues where there were none before. Now, with backing from Google, several well-known security professionals have launched oCERT--a public effort to provide security handling support and response for open source projects.


Summer Is Almost Here, and So Is the Summer of Code

This year, April 1st was supposed to mark another serious day at Google, namely the deadline for student applications to the Summer of Code. But this turned out to be another joke of sorts; Google has extended the deadline to April 7th, giving students several more days to apply.

Google is well known for their many April Fool's Day jokes. I still remember when Gmail was launched; the notion of 1GB of free e-mail storage space was considered so ridiculous that it had to be a joke. Except, of course, that Gmail was serious. This year, April 1st was supposed to mark another serious day at Google, namely the deadline for student applications to the Summer of Code.
