There was some incredulity expressed yesterday when I suggested that SAP is a great case study on the way in which proprietary companies have engaged with open source.
To be clear, I was not suggesting that SAP is, or should be considered, an open source company, but based on our understanding of SAP’s changing strategy with regards to open source software it represents a good case study on how proprietary companies have learned that it is in their best interests to contribute to open source software projects.

Clearly there is a threat to open source vendors from cloud-based services. Meanwhile I have previous …

Red Hat announcements round-up
Red Hat announced a whole heap of products and projects this
week. They should have organized an event to coincide with all
the announcements. Or something. The biggest news was probably
the launch of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 including KVM and other
virtualization capabilities, while Red Hat and HP partnered to optimize
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for HP BladeSystem Matrix. The
company also revealed that Red Hat Network Satellite …
Sun's LAMP support is assembled from two pieces: the L is from our Linux/GNU Support (see SunSolve entry), while the AMP comes from the GlassFish WebStack, which, in its latest incarnation includes Apache HTTP Server, lighttpd, memcached, MySQL, PHP, Python, Ruby, Squid, Tomcat, GlassFish (v2.1) and Hudson (features).
The inclusion of Hudson is a bit of an opportunistic move (more on that in a bit), the rest comprises a well tested, integrated, …
