Leggendo i vari commenti degli editorialisti italiani sulla sentenza contro Google colgo solo una gran voglia di regime. Non ho letto da nessuna parte che i ragazzini che hanno pubblicato i video ignobili sono già stati puniti e chissà se hanno imparato la lezione (suggerimento per un servizio da fare). Però tutti i difensori della [...]

I’m a firm believer that non-profit organizations need to have a strategy, too. Maybe even more than for-profit ones, because of the constant lack of resources. I’ve been watching without commenting the development of the five-year strategic plan for Wikimedia Foundation: fascinating. The process has entered the last phase, synthesis. There is lots to learn [...]

I watched Eben’s speech but now I can quote it too thanks to the transcript done by the friends at Software Freedom Law Center. Talking about the problems of the cloud services, Eben hits Facebook hard with his rhetoric:
The human race has susceptibility to harm but Mr. Zuckerberg has attained an unenviable record. He has [...]

Since Mozilla Messaging launched Thunderbird 3 I started using it to see if this new version is better than GNOME Evolution, the email/calendar application I used in the past 4 years. Evolution is a decent email and calendar client and I love the integration in GNOME, but it stopped evolving and its GUI has [...]

This is good news for mobile free software (or open source, as you wish to call it): Maemo and Moblin joined forces today. I had lots of expectations for Maemo, but so far Nokia hasn’t pushed it enough. This merge of the two project may give it a new life. Now the issue is [...]

I honestly cannot understand the fear of forks that is spreading within the Symbian community. Since Symbian Foundation released the full source code of the operating system under the Eclipse Public License I’ve read few comments like the following:
I sincerely hope that we don’t see various manufacturers forking the code, and thus creating a veritable [...]

Some of the things that Mike Tienman said in this interview with InternetNews.com I could have said myself.
I have come to believe that a license alone is neither a secret to success nor an absolution of sin.
Exactly: choosing a free license is a moral choice but that alone won’t secure neither commercial success nor any [...]
