Open Source Communities in Malaysia 2009
I've always maintained a list of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) communities in Malaysia. Whilst browsing on the net, I stumbled upon a "List of Open Source Communities, Projects and OSS Events in Malaysia" by Harisfazillah Jamel (otherwise known as LinuxMalaysia).
Video: How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People (And You Can Too)
I was brought attention to this via Necropsy on #myoss.
The main thing is, it doesn't apply just to projects. It applies to communities as well.
Its a good video and I notice the same problems in the MyOSS community as well.
Abstract:
Every open source project runs into people who are selfish, uncooperative, and ... all » disrespectful. These people can silently poison the atmosphere of a happy developer community. Come learn how to identify these people and peacefully de-fuse them before they derail your project. Told through a series of (often amusing) real-life anecdotes and experiences.
So guys..."Patches weclome"
Java gone Open Source
The infamous Java platform has gone Open Source. This is an amazing moment for a lot of software developers as it it proves the kind of benefits the FOSS community can bring. Best of all they are planning to use the GNU GPL Version 2 License, which many of us are familiar with.
Included are commentaries from many important players in the FOSS Movement, but sadly the videos don't seem to be working on Ubuntu. Maybe (if I ever really get bored) I'll watch them on Windows.
Though there have been attempts to get a working FOSS Java implementation, such as Apache Harmony, and GNU Compiler for Java I wonder what it means to those developers?
