So far PHProjekt 6 (P6, see http://phprojekt.com) is already enhanced with
nice AJAX workflows and snappy user-experience. Nevertheless, we
discussed a way to provide synchronous communication and direct
information within the application.
Everybody knows GoogleMail with its easy to use frontend. Maybe
you use it for your daily work. In GoogleMail, there is no need
to refresh the page to receive a new mail, Google informs you
automatically whenever a new mail is available. But how is this
possible? The answer to this question is really simple: The
server triggers a signal informing that a new mail is available.
This technology is called Comet and describes a way how the
server communicates with the client [see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming)
].

[Read more]There’s been a fair amount of attention – both positive and negative – on dual licensing in recent weeks. A few days ago Brian Aker wrote: “The fact is, there are few, and growing fewer, opportunities to make money on dual licensing.”
It is a sweeping statement, but one that is worth further consideration, especially since, as Stephen O’Grady noted it is directly contradicted by Gartner’s prediction that: “By 2012, at least 70% of the revenue from commercial OSS will come from vendor-centric projects with dual-license business models.”
Success?
I remember reading this prediction back in December but dismissing it as …

[Read more]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.
Jay and I had the opportunity yesterday to speak to Claus von Riegen, SAP director of technology standards and open source, and Erwin Tenhumberg, SAP open source program manager. Our formal …

[Read more]One of the issues I have with the Free Software approach is that advocates have habit of throwing the baby out with the bathwater when discussing issues that they see as in any way negative to free software.
I was reminded of this while reading Bradley M. Kuhn’s criticism of Mark Shuttleworth’s reported views on copyright assignment.
Having read the original interview with Mark, and then Bradley’s response, it is pretty clear that the two have very different perspectives on copyright assignment: Mark is speaking from the perspective of a commercial business, Bradley form that of a non-profit foundation.
The two entities have very different reasons for enforcing copyright assignment …
