Finally: good math typesetting in a browser window: http://www.mathjax.org/... I would have loved it while working on my thesis.
Merry Xmas to all my followers-especially @smaffulli @mjasay @ggreve @Mark_Antony @glynmoody @maslett - thanks for the wonderful discussions
New MS moonlight covenant: http://www.microsoft.com/interop... (IMHO: useless; covers end users but not redistributors, explicitly excludes third parties)
Finishing touches on the new FLOSSMETRICS lower bound estimates of active, stable OSS projects-now incl. GitHub, google code, PA repos: 28k
Number is 55% greater than previous estimate. Observed: movement to Google code repo, increase of tech-specific repos (github, bitbucket)
Incredibly idiotic: http://www.computerworld.com/s... A lawyer that writes about "not-for-commercial-use open source sw" is not a funny joke anymore
I have done something good for once: finished translating @MindTouch in Italian (100% localized). Now, coffee.
"Installing Windows considered as a literary genre". http://www.boingboing.net/2009... "VI Depilatio. The narrator is reduced to despair and frustration"
@carlo_piana I woke up, found -8°C. Had to defrost my car, before being able to move..
@Roebot You're welcome-MindTouch is awesome.
Just added some missing italian text: RT @MindTouch You can make MindTouch better by contrib. to the localization efforts: http://translate.developer.mindtouch.com/
"An IBM Z10 at EDS' site fell over this week after vital fixes had not been applied, because all the qualified staff had been fired." :-)
@sogrady: "whether or not you believe that dual license an asset is vital for ecosystem .. I believe that to be a provably false assumption"
@webmink @caostheory re: Novell de-emphasizing linux - curious. The Linux part was the only one growing for the last 3-4 quarters.
@mjasay You are right. Unfortunately, there was no plan for expand their proprietary offering-it was just abandoned. Groupwise is an example
Starting our final FLOSSMETRICS review. The EC attendant was surprised that Linux found the projector just fine. How things improve :-)
New EC study on openness: http://ec.europa.eu/informa... Few mentions to OSS; some (small) remarks on how OSS facilitates alternative business models
@KrisBuytaert Argh! Maybe I violated a patent by taking a picture of a patented red screen of death? I should be immediately incarcerated!
http://twitpic.com/sih3l - And after the blue and black screen of death, the red one-maybe because I am waiting for my flight?

@maslett I can't believe someone said that with a straight face. Can we have names? I need a new dartboard picture.
Good example of Canvas use: online particle system (do we still need flash?) http://www.mrspeaker.net/dev...
Pompei in Google street view: http://maps.google.it/maps... Nice use of SV. Would love to see more monuments like that.
Kernel Shared Memory implementation in linux, and how it avoids a VmWare patent: http://lwn.net/Article...
No, but: "The EHR IMPACT cases show that interoperability is a prime driver of benefits.. closed ICT.. would not realize these gains"
"the analysis..underlines the reliance on executives' and managers' expertise in organisational change .. to realise financial returns"
For those interested in ICT for health care: extraordinarily deep EC study on EHR and ePrescribing; excellent analysis http://ec.europa.eu/informa...
@mjasay @glynmoody But a successful execution does not prevent others from succeeding. With patents this happens even with unsuccessful ones
@maslett I agree. The fireworks should be viewable from all over Europe.
OpenGear joins OSSI, works to extend OpenSSL FIPS 140-2 certification to ARM: http://www.oss-institute.org/index... Good example of shared R&D
@glynmoody The real potential is not #chromeos on a traditional netbook, but a different hardware design. There is larger potential there.
