Fitzpatrick, coauthor of Version Control with Subversion Despite your fantastic grades and razor-sharp wit, when it comes to looking for a job fresh out of college, you're going to find yourself competing against a multitude of other students with similarly impressive credentials. In some cases, you'll be competing against people who have several years of experience and all you've got on your resume is your senior project and an internship fetching coffee at Random BigCo. The one thing you're missing on your resume is experience, and most students are advised or required to complete an internship to gain this much-needed knowledge. Unfortunately, most of the experience students get in an internship is doing some of the most menial chores in their field.If, however, you create your own "internship" by contributing to an open source community, you'll get invaluable real-world experience, advice, and criticism from talented pro

    2008-06-21 08:38:36
    A Red Hat está apostando cada vez mais no setor de virtualização. Durante o Red Hat Summit, em Boston (EUA), a empresa de código aberto dedicou a primeira coletiva do evento ao tema, além de inúmeras palestras e discussões técnicas. Em todo o discurso, está claro a vontade de competir com a VMWare, subsidiária da EMC, que domina boa parte desse mercado e que durante o IPO de 10% de suas ações levantou estimado 1 bilhão de dólares em 13 de agosto de 2007. “O nosso modelo de negócio não envolve dar um brinquedo com funções reduzidas para obrigar ao cliente ter que comprar a versão paga.

    Open Source Food
    2008-01-26 07:47:00
    When worlds collide... As a technology professional, focused on the Internet, how could I not love the web site Open Source Food? If only for the name, it's a great idea, but the content is wonderful as well. OSF is a social networking site that is all about recipes that have pictures and are rated by the community.The site is not nearly as vast as AllRecipes, having only launched recently, and not having nearly as many users. But the users do seem to be loyal and active, similar in that Web 2.0-way to users of Yelp and in that Web 1.0-way to users of Chowhound.Originally, I heard about this site through a co-worker, Tim, who I believe is related or friends with the founders of OSF. Since you likely don't know Tim, I get the honor of letting you know. Go check out Open Source Food and let us know what you think.

    Open Source Solutions
    2008-01-14 20:39:00
    I'm a big fan of efficiency. Same with the idea of core competencies. Also with saving money. Those three things also happen to be reasons that I'm a big fan of open source solutions when they're available.What is open source?Open Source solutions are programs or applications whose code is "open". This means that anyone may alter the code for their own specific uses and distribute it for free. This approach to software differs from the big players in the computer world who prefer all of their products to be proprietary. Good luck making a change to Microsoft Word and offering the new 'improved' version to your friends over the internet.What are the benefits?Cost for one. With Open Source solutions, you don't pay for the software yourself. I often recommend open source E-commerce applications because cost-wise, they are great value in comparison with most proprietary applications. Usually a packaged ecommerce shopping cart system will be at least $1000, and if it is custom built for you, it goes up from there very fast. Even with the packaged products, you (or your designer) will still need to re-template it so that it aligns with your organization's image.Features is another reason. Think about wikipedia for a moment. It has over 7 million articles in over a hundred languages. It's free. How? Because it harnessed the labour of a great many people, and didn't have to pay any of them a penny. Now, of course, there have been instances where articles have been wrong, but as a user you're encouraged to be a critical and active participant yourself, not a silent consumer of information.Open Source software works on similar principles in that anyone can contribute. Of course, as a user of the software, you don't need to use other peoples contributions. For example, osCommerce has shipping packages for most countries, but if you do business in Saskatoon, you'll likely use just the official Canada Post package. You can pick and choose what works for your situatio

    By Erwin OlivaMANILA, Philippines -- Since April 2006, the University of the Philippines Manila has been leading open source initiatives for Southeast Asia, the head of the project said. Funded by the Asia Pacific Development Information Program (APDIP) of the UNDP and the IDRC of Canada, the International Open Source Network (IOSN) has set up headquarters in UP Manila since last year, Doctor Alvin Marcelo, manager for IOSN Asean +3, said in an interview. The Manila-based group has been organizing training, conferences, events and research mainly focusing on free and open source software in the Asean region, he said. “The project focuses on initiatives on how open source software can help human development,” the Filipino doctor said.

    The need for an Open Source Event Management software
    2007-11-12 06:35:00
    I get tons of email asking me for a suggestion for a complete event management open source software.I must say I am a bit embarrassed with the subject because there is no complete solution for planning. There are a lot of good project management, paper submission, accounting, CRM, office suites softwares.But not event management.Event planning is a little of all the above. Therefore I am convinced that the discipline we love deserves a damn well software, comprehensive and free!It is a paradox to me that the field where humans get pretty close to computers has no software to help.Oh wait there are several softwares out there but you have to pay good dollars to get them.Reality is that not all the event planners work in great companies with big monies. There are event planners like me that started their own business with limited resources. I have always stressed that a spreadsheet can help you in thousands of ways.That doesn't mean that I won't be happy with a comprehensive event pl

    Open Source – A collaborative software development approach
    2007-10-20 07:45:22
    Open source means a source open to all, in technological terms open source is an open culture for collective decision making, implementing and sharing at all levels of development and all level of enterprise. Free Open Source Software (FOSS) and Free / Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) are all used interchangeably. Open source was coined at strategy session held at California; it is not just availability of source code to users but complete flexibility and freedom to use, modify, add and redistribute content. Open source software is available free of cost and freely for use. Vast communication network and social networks communities use these technologies to distribute their information and products. Open source technologies have lead to decentralization and distribution of files information. Weblogs or Blogs is most important open source media, regularly updated and published in reverse chronological order. One of the set back is replication of website content.Message Board open sour
