Bad Voltage Episode 61 Has Been Released: Head Boiling

Jono Bacon, Bryan Lunduke, Stuart Langridge and myself bring you Bad Voltage, in which we ask, to distro or not to distro? We are also apparently twonkles, we don’t fit inside the case, and: * 00:02:03 KDE Neon is a new distribution from some of the KDE team

OSCON 2009 - Day 1 (liveblog)

I'm trying a new format for this conference. Instead of live blogging one session per post, I'm going to aggregate the entire day into a single live post. Feedback on the format is welcome. O'Reilly Radar * mobile phones are now really a collection of

OSCON 2009

I got to San Jose just in time to attend Ignite OSCON and the Google O'Reilly Open Source Awards. I'll be live blogging some of the sessions over the next couple days and look forward to another great OSCON. If you're in town and

OSCON leaving Oregon and moving to the Bay

While I heard quite a few rumors about this happening, it was still a bit sad to see that OSCON is officially leaving Portland. It's not that I don't like San Francisco, I actually like it quite a bit. It's that even those of

OSCON Updates

I had planned to post regular OSCON updates, but the network has been up and down, so here are some random musings. As with some conference posts of mine, this is a bit random stream of consciousness and is not edited/proofread. Tuesday Evening Extravaganza * Mark put it well when

Speed up your web pages with YSlow

If you do front-end web stuff, you may be interested in a cool new tool from Yahoo! that I first heard about at OSCON: YSlow analyzes web pages and tells you why they're slow based on the rules for high performance web sites. YSlow is a Firefox add-on

Microsoft to Submit Shared Source Licenses to OSI

From a Radar post: In his keynote at OSCON, Microsoft General Manager of Platform Strategy Bill Hilf announced that Microsoft is submitting its shared source licenses to the Open Source Initiative. This is a huge, long-awaited move. It will be earthshaking for both Microsoft and for the open source community

Open Source and the Future of Network Applications

There's a lot to see at OSCON, so it should come as no surprise that you won't be able to personally see everything you'd like to. I seem to have missed one of the most talked about events though. "Tim has a television

Back from OSCON, LinuxWorld coming soon

I'm back from OSCON, but still feeling the impact of what was another great event. It's not just the great parties that leave you drained, it's also the massive amount of learning, discussion and information. It'll likely take me a couple days

More from OSCON

My laptop has really gone from bad to worse, so blogging will be extremely light until I get home. The N800 has been filling in nicely. It's a shame I have been unable to live blog the sessions, as they have been really interesting. I was able to

OSCON Opening Keynote

As usual, the opening OSCON keynote was extremely interesting. Tim talked about which Open Source is on the Radar. There was a lot of talk about parallelism (Intel) and concurrent programming (Microsoft). Tim also interviewed Mark Shuttleworth. I had planned on live blogging the event, which contained a bunch of

OSCON Executive Briefing II

(live blogging, so forgive the grammar and lack of proof reading) Always Better Matt Asay (Alfresco) and Mike Olson (Oracle via SleepyCat) discuss the value of source code. Mike argues that zero cost frictionless distribution is more disruptive than source access. A response from the crowd asked why he doesn&

OSCON Executive Briefing

OSCON, always a great conference, is officially underway. A few moments ago I got a sneak peak at ohlho, new open source guide of sorts. It allows you to tell it what stack(s) you use and gain valuable information from there. The amount of data displayed is already interesting
