The Reality of Openness

Cloud Computing Has To Be About Openness And Ease; Not Locking Developers In

There was a ton of press coverage today over Microsoft's not-particularly-surprising announcement of Microsoft Azure, its attempt to get into the cloud computing business, competing with the likes of Amazon, Google's AppEngine and (now) Rackspace, among others. Microsoft entering this space isn't a surprise at all, so it's a bit disappointing to see the sheer lack of details surrounding the announcement. Amazon has succeeded in the space because of two main things: incredibly cheap prices and ridiculous ease-of-use.

Real Name For Open Source Development?

An anonymous reader writes "Do you contribute to open source projects under your real name or a nickname? The openness of open source can be encouraging, but software patents you have never heard of can become a nightmare if a patent troll sues for implementing 'their' scroll bar. A real name also means you end up in the big index we call search engines. An assumed name could be an additional layer of protection, but what are its pros and cons and is it worth the hassle when asked to participate in a meatspace meeting?"

How To Build a Web 2.0 Government?

UltraAyla writes "With the announcement that President-Elect Obama will record his weekly address as a YouTube video to be posted at Change.gov, questions arise as to how an Internet-fueled candidacy based in part on a platform of government openness can begin to use technology to make government transparent. Aside from popular Slashdot policies, such as Net Neutrality, how do you think government (either in the United States or elsewhere) can best utilize technology to engage the public and make government more transparent and accessible?" Reader Rick Zeman points out a related New York Times story about how Obama will have to give up some of his communications gadgets because of the Presidential Records Act. Despite that, he apparently hopes to be the first US president to have a laptop on his desk in the Oval Office.

Coviello: Better times ahead for government IT security

Government has increased its productivity with the use of information technology, but at the cost of greater threats to information systems, according to Art Coviello, president and chief executive officer of RSA Security Inc. of Bedford, Mass. “We have created a degree of openness in our systems that increase the risks,” Coviello said, but added that agencies have not kept up with the job of managing those risks.Coviello, in Washington to meet with government customers, added that he is heartened by an increased level of awareness in government of cyber risks and threats.

Innovating Up the Mobile Linux Stack

As users demand more variety from their mobile devices, the mobile Linux ecosystem has responded by pushing innovation higher in the stack -- from the operating system itself up through the middleware layer to the user interface. This is where the real value in openness lies, write Tomi Rauste and Sampo Nurmentaus of Movial.

Google CEO: We Need an 'Innovation Bailout'

Google's Chrome-yism. Are Multiple Internets The End Game?

I've installed and played with Chrome but I'll spare you my review of it. What's more interesting to me and of concern to you is where the Internet is heading as specific client- and server-side technologies (as well as the entities in between) become deeply aligned with one another at the expense of openness. Or should I say Internets? Upon close examination, the executives of Google and Mozilla, two organizations famously aligned against mutual rivals, didn't mince words. From 3,000 miles away, the tension is palpable and Chrome and Android probably have more to do with one another than meets the eye.
